The First Nowell Lyrics

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

Then let us all with one accord
Sing praises to our heavenly Lord

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 of Israel
Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, born is the King of Israel
