The First Nowell

The First

Nowell, the

Angels did say

Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay

In fields where they lay keeping their sheep

On a cold winter's night that was so deep

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

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

Nowell, Nowell,

Nowell, Nowell

Born is the

King of Israel

Then entered in those wise men three

Full reverently upon their knee

And offered there in

His presence

Their gold and myrrh, and frankincense

Nowell, Nowell,

Nowell, Nowell

Born is the

King of Israel
