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. 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. This star drew nigh to the North-West, O'er Bethlehem it took it 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. Then let us all with one accord, Sing praises to our heavenly Lord; That hath made heaven and earth of naught, And with His blood mankind hath bought. Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Born is the King of Israel. "     * Back to the Christmas Carols Menu *   | Back to the Christmas Menu | This page was created on: November 21st 2001.
