Nowell, Nowell,Nowell, Nowell
Hymnal: NEH1985 #36 (1986) Meter: Irregular First Line: The first Nowell the angel did say Lyrics: 1 The first Nowell the angel did say
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay;
In fields where they lay, keeping their sheep,
On a cold winter's night that was so deep:
Refrain:
Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell,
Born is the King of Israel.
2 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: [Refrain]
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 the star wheresoever it went: [Refrain]
4 This star drew nigh to the north-west;
O'er Bethlehem it took its rest,
And there it did both stop and stay
Right over the place where Jesus lay: [Refrain]
5 Then entered in those Wise Men three,
Full reverently upon their knee,
And offered there in his presence
Both gold and myrrh and frankincense: [Refrain]
6 Then let us all with one accord
Sing praises to our heavenly Lord,
That hath made heaven and earth of naught,
And with his blood mankind hath bought: [Refrain] Topics: The Christian Year Christmas; Epiphany Languages: English Tune Title: THE FIRST NOWELL
Nowell, Nowell,Nowell, Nowell
Then let us adore him, and praise his great love
Author: Henry Ramsden Bramley, 1833-1917 Hymnal: NEH1985 #37 (1986) Meter: 11.11.11 with refrain First Line: The great God of heaven is come down to earth Lyrics: 1 The great God of heaven is come down to earth,
His mother a Virgin, and sinless his birth;
The Father eternal his Father alone:
He sleeps in the manger; he reigns on the throne:
Refrain:
Then let us adore him, and praise his great love:
To save us poor sinners he came from above.
2 A Babe on the breast of a Maiden he lies,
Yet sits with the Father on high in the skies;
Before him their faces the seraphim hide,
While Joseph stands waiting, unscared, by his side: [Refrain]
3 Lo! here is Emmanuel, here is the Child,
The Son that was promised to Mary so mild;
Whose power and dominion shall ever increase,
The Prince that shall rule o’er a kingdom of peace: [Refrain]
4 The Wonderful Counsellor, boundless in might,
The Father’s own image, the beam of his light;
Behold him now wearing the likeness of man,
Weak, helpless, and speechless, in measure a span: [Refrain]
5 O wonder of wonders, which none can unfold:
The Ancient of days is an hour or two old;
The Maker of all things is made of the earth,
Man is worshipped by angels, and God comes to birth: [Refrain]

The Maker of the sun and moon

The Maker of the sun and moon
Unto us a boy is born!
Author: Percy Dearmer, 1867-1936 Hymnal: NEH1985 #39 (1986) Meter: 7.6.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Unto us a boy is born!
King of all creation,
Came he to a world forlorn,
The Lord of every nation.
2 Cradled in a stall was he
With sleepy cows and asses;
But the very beasts could see
That he all men surpasses.
3 Herod then with fear was filled:
'A prince,' he said, 'in Jewry!'
And all the little boys he killed
At Bethlem in his fury.
4 Now may Mary's son, who came
So long ago to love us,
Lead us all with hearts aflame
Unto the joys above us.
5 Omega and Alpha he!
Let the organ thunder,
While the choir with peals of glee
Doth rend the air asunder. Topics: The Christian Year Christmas; Holy Innocents' Day Languages: English Tune Title: PUER NOBIS

Prophets, shepherds, kings, advise:
Lead me to my Master's manger,
Show me where my Saviour lies.
2 O most mighty, O most holy,
Far beyond the seraph's thought!
Art thou then so weak and lowly
As unheeded prophets taught?
3 O the magnitude of meekness,
Worth from worth immortal sprung!
O the strength of infant weakness,
If eternal is so young!
4 God all- bounteous, all creative,
Whom no ills from good dissuade,
Is incarnate-and a native
Of the very world he made. Topics: The Christian Year Christmas Languages: English Tune Title: OTTERY ST MARY

While shepherds watched their flocks by night
Author: Nahum Tate, 1652-1715 Hymnal: NEH1985 #42 (1986) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 While shepherds watched their flocks by night,
All seated on the ground,
The angel of the Lord came down,
And glory shone around.
2 'Fear not,' said he (for mighty dread
Had seized their troubled mind);
'Glad tidings of great joy I bring
To you and all mankind.
3 'To you in David's town this day
Is born of David's line
A Saviour, who is Christ the Lord;
And this shall be the sign:
4 The heavenly Babe you there shall find
To human view displayed,
All meanly wrapped in swathing bands,
And in a manger laid.'
5 Thus spake the seraph; and forthwith
Appeared a shining throng
Of angels praising God, who thus
Addressed their joyful song:
6 'All glory be to God on high,
And on the earth be peace;
Good-will henceforth from heaven to men
Begin and never cease.' Topics: The Christian Year Christmas Languages: English Tune Title: WINCHESTER OLD
