tally-ho! (1900's) - the first nowell lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
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

[refrain]
nowell, nowell, nowell, nowell
born is the king of israel!

[verse 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]
nowell, nowell, nowell, nowell
born is the king of israel!

[verse 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 wherever it went
[refrain]
nowell, nowell, nowell, nowell
born is the king of israel!

[verse 4]
this star drew nigh to the northwest
o’er bethlehem it took its rest
and there it did both stop and stay
right o’er the place where jesus lay

[refrain]
nowell, nowell, nowell, nowell
born is the king of israel!

[verse 5]
then entered in those wise men three
fell reverently upon their knee
and offered there in his presence
their gold and myrrh and frankincense

[refrain]
nowell, nowell, nowell, nowell
born is the king of israel!

[verse 6]
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 has bought
[refrain]
nowell, nowell, nowell, nowell
born is the king of israel!
