The First Nowell
by Good Shepherd Band

Album: All The Bells Shall Ring

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 lookèd 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 . . .

And by the light of that same star,
Three Wise Men came from country far;
To seek a King was their intent,
And to follow that star wherever it went:

Nowell . . .

Then entered in those Wise Men three,
Fell reverently upon their knee,
And offered there in His presence,
Their gold and myrrh and frankincense:

Nowell . . .

Now let us all with one accord
Sing praises to our heavenly Lord
That hath made heaven and earth of nought,
And with his blood mankind hath bought:

Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell,
Born is the King
Born is the King
Born is the King of Israel.
