lyrics

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 …
Nowell Nowell … Nowell Nowell
Born is the King of Israel

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 …
Nowell Nowell … Nowell Nowell
Born is the King of Israel
