The First Nowell Lyrics

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!

For all to see there was 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
The Wise men came from country far
To seek for a King was their intent
And to follow the star wherever it went

Then let us all with one accord
Sing praises to our heavenly Lord
Who has made Heaven and earth of naught
And with his blood mankind has 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 of Israel!
