The First Nowell with Lyrics (Choral) (4K)

The First Nowell is another much-loved traditional carol. There is no one person that it can be attributed to. It might have been written by several people over a few centuries. hymnary.org says this: This carol tells a story loosely based on the Gospel accounts in Luke 2 and Matthew 2 of the events surrounding Jesus' birth, with the shepherds, the star, and the wise men. The first two lines of the final stanza calls us to action – as the wise men reverently worshipped the Christ, so we should “with one accord sing praises to our heavenly Lord.” The last two lines recall that our Lord is the Creator and the Savior of the world.

Nowell, nowell, nowell, nowell, Born is the King of Israel! They lookèd 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. 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. Then entered in those wise men three Full reverently upon their knee, And offered there in His presence Their gold, and myrrh, and frankincense. 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.
