The First Nowell

The first Nowell, the angel 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

Then let us all with one accord

(Then let us all with one accord)

Sing praises to our heavenly Lord

(Sing praises heavenly Lord)

Who hath made heaven and earth of nought

(Who hath made heaven and earth of nought)

And with his blood mankind hath bought

(And with his mankind hath bought)

Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell

Born is the King of Israel

Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell

Born is the King

(Born is the King)

Born is the King

(Born is the King)

Born is the King of Israel
