1.天使初報聖誕佳音，先向田間貧苦牧人；
牧人正當看守羊群，嚴冬方冷長夜已深。

副)歡欣，歡欣，歡欣，歡欣，天國君王今日降生。

2.博士三人因見星光，離鄉追隨遠達他方；
專心一意尋求君王，景星前導不問路長。

副)歡欣，歡欣，歡欣，歡欣，天國君王今日降生。

3.景星導引渡漠越荒，到伯利恆停留其上，
景星射照馬棚光芒，嬰孩耶穌馬槽為床。

副)歡欣，歡欣，歡欣，歡欣，天國君王今日降生。

4.博士三人一齊走進，屈膝展拜虔誠虛心，
竟將禮物奉獻尊君，乳香、沒藥又有黃金。

副)歡欣，歡欣，歡欣，歡欣，天國君王今日降生。

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.

(Chorus)
Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell,
Born is the King of Israel.

2.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.

(Chorus)
Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell,
Born is the King of Israel.

3.This Star drew nigh to the northwest,
O'er Bethlehem it took its rest,
And there it did both stop and stay,
Right over the place where Jesus lay.

(Chorus)
Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell,
Born is the King of Israel.

4.Then entered in those wise men three,
Full reverently upon their knee,
And offered there in His presence,
Their gold, and myrrh, and frankincense.

(Chorus)
Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell,
Born is the King of Israel.
