Hymnal: Laudis Corona #28 (1880) First Line: The first Nowell the angel did say Refrain First Line: Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell Lyrics: 1 The first Nowell the angel did say
Was to certain poor shepherds, in field as they lay,
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep,
On a cold winter's night That was so deep.
Chorus:
Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell,
Born is the King of Israel.
2 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, etc.
3 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, etc.
4 Then let us, 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, etc.
