The First Noel Lyrics

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 deepNowell, Nowell
Nowell, Nowell
Born is the King of IsraelThey 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 nightNowell, Nowell
Nowell, Nowell
Born is the King of IsraelThe star drew nigh to the North-West
O'er Bethlehem it took its rest
And there it did, both stop and stay
Right over the place where Jesus layNowell, Nowell
Nowell, Nowell
Born is the King of Israel
(Last time)
Nowell, Nowell

Nowell, Nowell
