[Verse 1]
Nowell, Nowell, the angels did say
To shepherds who there in their fields did lay
And late in the night while watching their sheep
On a dark winter's night both cold and bleak

[Verse 2]
And then there did appear a star
Whose bright glory then did shine so far
Unto the earth it gave great light
And so it continued by day and by night

[Chorus]
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 that star wherеver it went

[Chorus]
Nowell, Nowеll, Nowell, Nowell
Born is the King of Israel
[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 4]
The star drew near unto the northwest
And over a stable it took its rest
And there it did both stop and stay
Right over the place where the baby did lay

[Verse 5]
Then entered in those wise men three
With reverence they fell to their knee
And offered up in His presence
Their gifts of gold and frankincense

[Chorus]
Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell
Born is the King of Israel
