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 |
