AUDIENCE CAROL SINGThe First NowellThe first Nowell the angel did sayWas to certain poor shepherds in fields as they layIn 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.
They looked up and saw a starShining in the east, beyond them far;And to the earth it gave great light, And so it continued both day and night: Refrain
Then let us all with one accordSing praises to our heav’nly Lord, That hath made heav’n and earth of naught, And with his blood mankind hath bought: Refrain

The herald angels sing, “Glory to the newborn King;Peace on earth, and mercy mild, God and sinners reconciled!”Joyful, all ye nations, rise, Join the triumph of the skies;With th’angelic host proclaim, “Christ is born in Bethlehem!”Hark! The herald angels sing, “Glory to the newborn King!”
Hail the heav’n-born Prince of Peace! Hail the Sun of Righteousness!Light and life to all he brings, Risen with healing in his wings;Mild he lays his glory by, Born that man no more may die,Born to raise the sons of earth, Born to give them second birth,Hark! The herald angels sing, “Glory to the newborn King!”
Good King Wenceslas looked outOn the feast of StephenWhen the snow lay round aboutDeep and crisp and evenBrightly shone the moon that nightThough the frost was cruelWhen a poor man came in sightGath’ring winter fuel.
“Hither, page, and stand by meIf thou know’st it, tellingYonder peasant, who is he?Where and what his dwelling?”“Sire, he lives a good league henceUnderneath the mountainRight against the forest fenceBy Saint Agnes’ fountain.”
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree! Thy leaves are so unchanging;O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!Thy leaves are so unchanging;Not only green when summer’s here,But also when ‘tis cold and drear.O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!Thy leaves are so unchanging!
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!Much pleasure thou can’st give me;O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!Much pleasure thou can’st give me;How often has the Christmas treeAfforded me the greatest glee!O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!Much pleasure thou can’st give me.
