The First Nowell

The First Nowell _ Wiener Sängerknaben

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 entered in those wise men three

Full reverently upon their knee

and offered there in his presence

Their gold and myrrh and frakincense

Nowell Nowell Nowell Nowell

Born is the King of Israel
