THE FIRST NOWELL.

(15.)

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 win-ter's night

9:2

The First Nowell.

hey looked 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.
Nowell, etc.

3 Then entered in those wise men three
Full reverently upon their knee,

CONCLUDED.

And offered there, in His Presence,
Their gold, and myrrh, and frankincense.
Nowell, etc.

4 Then let us, with one accord,

Sing praises to our Heavenly Lord,

That hath made heaven and earth of nought,
And with His Blood mankind hath bought.
Nowell, etc.

THE SNOW LAY ON THE GROUND.

Waken! Christian children, Up and let us sing, With glad voice the praises of our new-born King.
