1. 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:

Refrain
Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell,
Born is the King of Israel.

2. 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: Refrain

3. 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 whersoever it went: Refrain 

4. Then let us all with one accord
Sing praises to our heavenly Lord
That hath made heaven and earth of nought,
And with his blood mankind hath bought: Refrain
