Written by：Anonymous

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

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

This star drew nigh to the northwest

O'er Bethlehem it took it rest

And there it did both stop and stay

Right over the place where Jesus lay

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

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
