[00:00.42]The first nowell the angel did say
[00:07.66]Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay
[00:14.58]In fields where they lay keeping their sheep
[00:21.41]In a cold winter's night that was so deep
[00:28.64]Nowell nowell nowell nowell
[00:35.98]Born is the king of israel
[00:43.09]
[00:45.42]They looked up and saw a star
[00:52.60]Shining in the east beyond them far
[00:59.82]And to the earth it gave great light
[01:06.19]
[01:06.83]And so it continued both day and night
[01:13.50]
[01:14.02]Nowell nowell nowell nowell
[01:21.51]Born is the king of israel
[01:29.30]
[01:30.71]This star drew nigh to the northwest
[01:38.15]O'er bethlehem it took it rest
[01:45.36]And there it did both stop and stay
[01:52.45]Right over the place where jesus lay
[02:00.49]Nowell nowell nowell nowell
[02:08.31]Born is the king of israel
[02:17.29]Then entered in those wise men three
[02:25.33]Full reverently upon their knee
[02:33.11]And offered there in his presence
[02:40.67]Their gold and myrrh and frakincense
[02:49.59]Nowell nowell nowell nowell
[02:57.34]Born is the king of israel
[03:04.94]
[03:06.46]Then let us all with one accord
[03:14.35]Sing praises to our heavenly lord
[03:22.04]That hath made heaven and earth of naught
[03:29.58]And with his blood mankind hath bought
[03:37.51]
[03:38.22]Nowell nowell nowell nowell
[03:47.07]Born is the king of israel
