- On a cold winter's night that was so deep

- Then wise men from a country far
- Looked up and saw a guiding star;
- They travelled on by night and day
- To reach the place where Jesus lay:
-
- Nowell, Nowell
- Nowell, Nowell
- Born is the King of Israel!

- At Bethlehem they entered in,
- on bended knee they worshipped Him;
- They offered there in His presence
- Their gold and myrrh and frankincense

- Nowell, Nowell
- Nowell, Nowell
- Born is the King of Israel!

- Then let us all with one accord
- Sing praises to our Heavenly Lord
- For Christ has our salvation wrought
- And with His blood mankind has bought:
-
- Nowell, Nowell
- Nowell, Nowell
- Born is the King of Israel!
