The First nowell _ Sir Colin Davis
Nowell Nowell Nowell Nowell
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
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
Nowell Nowell
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
Nowell Nowell Nowell Nowell
