The first Nowe the ange did say
was to certain poor shepherds in fieds as they ay,
in fieds where they ay keeping their sheep,
on a cod winter’s night that was so deep.
Nowe, Nowe, Nowe, Nowe,
born is the King of Israe.
They ooked up and saw a star
shining in the east beyond them far;
and to the earth it gave great ight,
and so it continued both day and night. [Refrain]
And by the ight of that same star
three wise men came from country far;
to seek for a king was their intent,
and to foow the star wherever it went. [Refrain]
This star drew nigh to the northwest;
o’er Bethehem it took its rest,
and there it did both stop and stay,
right over the pace where Jesus ay. [Refrain]
Then entered in those wise men three,
full reverenty upon their knee,
and offered there in his presence
their god, and myrrh, and frankincense. [Refrain]
Then et us a with one accord
sing praises to our heaveny ord,
that hath made heaven and earth of nought,
and with his bood our ife hath bought.
