The St. Philips Boy's Choir - 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 deep.
Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell
Born is the King of Israel.
They look-ed 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.
The 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 lay.
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.
