Lyrics: The First Nowell

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

 

Lyrics: O Come all Ye Faithful
O come, all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant
O come ye, o come ye to Bethlehem
O come and behold Him, born the King of Angels
 
O come, let us adore Him
O come, let us adore Him
O come, let us adore Him
Christ the Lord
 
Lyrics: Hark the Herald Angels Sing
Hark! the herald angels sing:
Glory to the newborn King!
Peace on earth and mercy mild
God and sinners reconciled
Joyful, all ye nations rise
Join the triumph of the skies
With angelic hosts proclaim:
Christ is born in Bethlehem


Hark! the herald angels sing:
Glory to the newborn King!

 

Christ by highest Heav'n adored
Christ the everlasting Lord!
Late in time behold Him come
Offspring of a Virgin's womb
Veiled in flesh the Godhead see;
Hail the incarnate Deity
Pleased as man with man to dwell
Jesus, our Emmanuel


Hark! the herald angels sing:
Glory to the newborn King!
