Weihnachtslieder - The First Noel lyrics

The first nowell the angel did say Was to certain poor sheperds in fields as they lay In fields where they lay keeping their sheep On a cold winter's night, that was so deep Chorus: Nowell, nowell, nowell, nowell, born is the king of Israel Nowell, nowell, nowell, nowell, born is the king of Israel 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 Chorus: Nowell, nowell, nowell, nowell, born is the king of Israel Nowell, nowell, nowell, nowell, born is the king of Israel 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 Chorus: Nowell, nowell, nowell, nowell, born is the king of Israel Nowell, nowell, nowell, nowell, born is the king of Israel The star drew nigh to the north-west O'er Bethlehem is took its rest And there it did both stop and stay Right over the place where jesus lay Chorus: Nowell, nowell, nowell, nowell, born is the king of Israel Nowell, nowell, nowell, nowell, born is the king of Israel Then entered in those wise men three Fell reverently upon their knee And offered there, in his presence Their gold, and myrrh, and frankincense Chorus: Nowell, nowell, nowell, nowell, born is the king of Israel 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 nought And with his blood mankind hath bought Chorus: Nowell, nowell, nowell, nowell, born is the king of Israel Nowell, nowell, nowell, nowell, born is the king of Israel
