The first nowell the angel did say,
was to certain poor sheperds in fields as they lay
in fields where they lay keeping their sheep,
on a cold winter's night, that was so deep
Chorus:
Nowell, nowell, nowell, nowell, born is the king of Israel
Nowell, nowell, nowell, nowell, born is the king of Israel
They looked up and saw a star,
shining in the east, beyond them far.
And to the earth it gave great light,
and so it continued both day and night
Chorus:
Nowell, nowell, nowell, nowell, born is the king of Israel
Nowell, nowell, nowell, nowell, born is the king of Israel
And by the light of that same star,
three wise men came from country far;
to seek for a king was their intent,
and to follow the star wherever it went.
Chorus:
Nowell, nowell, nowell, nowell, born is the king of Israel
Nowell, nowell, nowell, nowell, born is the king of Israel
The star drew nigh to the north-west,
o'er Bethlehem is took its rest,
and there it did both stop and stay,
right over the place where jesus lay.
Chorus:
Nowell, nowell, nowell, nowell, born is the king of Israel
Nowell, nowell, nowell, nowell, born is the king of Israel
Then entered in those wise men three,
fell reverently upon their knee,
and offered there, in his presence,
their gold, and myrrh, and frankincense.
Chorus:
Nowell, nowell, nowell, nowell, born is the king of Israel
Nowell, nowell, nowell, nowell, born is the king of Israel
Then let us all with one accord,
sing praises to our heavenly lord.
That hath made heaven and earth of nought,
and with his blood mankind hath bought.
Chorus:
Nowell, nowell, nowell, nowell, born is the king of Israel
Nowell, nowell, nowell, nowell, born is the king of Israel
