Full Lyrics
T.B.
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.
SOPRANO & ALTO
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.
ALL VOICES
Then let us all with one accord
sing praises to our heav'nly Lord
That hath made heav'n and earth of nought,
and with his blood mankind hath bought.
Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell!
Born is the King of Israel,
Nowell!
TENOR
Nowell, Nowell,
Born is the King of Israel!
SOP. & ALTO
Nowell, Nowell,
Nowell! Nowell!
