Arr. David Wilcocks
Masters in this hall, hear ye news today.
Brought from over sea, and ever I you pray:
Brought from over sea, and ever I you pray:
Refrain:
Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell sing we clear!
Holpen are all folk on Earth, born is God’s Son so dear
Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell sing we loud!
God today hath poor folk raised and cast a-down the proud.
Going o’er the hills, through the milk-white snow,
Heard the ewes to bleat and saw the wind to blow:
Refrain
Shepherds, many an one, sat among the sheep,
No man spoke more word than they had been asleep:
Refrain
Quoth I, “Fellows mine, why this guise sit ye?
Making but dull cheer, shepherds though ye be?”
Refrain
“Shepherds should of right leap and dance and sing,
Thus to see you sit, is a strange thing.’
Refrain
Quoth these fellows then, “To Bethlehem town we go,
To see a mighty Lord lie in a manger low.”
Refrain
“How name ye this Lord, Shepherds?” then said I,
“Very God,” they said, “Come from heaven high.”
Refrain
This is Christ the Lord, Masters be ye glad
Christmas is come in, and no man should be sad:
