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. |
|
The star drew nigh to the |
|
North-West, |
|
O'er Bethlehem it took its rest, |
|
And there it did, both stop and stay, |
|
Right over the place where |
|
Jesus lay. |
|
Nowell, Nowell, |
|
Nowell, Nowell, |
|
Born is the |
|
King of Israel. (Last time) |
|
Nowell, Nowell, |
|
Nowell, Nowell. |
