Christmas carol with words written around 1860 by the
English poet and artist William Morris to an old French
dance tune. The song is moderately popular around the
world but has not entered the canon of most popular
carols.
PAROLES Masters in this Hall, hear ye news to-day
Brought from over sea, and ever I you pray:
Chorus:
Nowell! Nowell! Nowell! Nowell, sing we clearl
Holpen are all folk on earth, born is God's son so dear:
Nowell! Nowell! Nowell! Nowell, sing we loudl
God to-day hath poor folk raised and cast a-down the proud.
Going o'er the hills, through the milk-white snow,
Heard I ewes bleat, while the wind did blow.
Chorus
Then to Bethlem town we went two and two,
And in a sorry place heard the oxen low.
Chorus
Therein did we see a sweet and goodly may
And a fair old man, upon the straw she lay.
Chorus
And a little child on her arm had she,
"Wot ye who this is?" Said the hinds to me:
Chorus
This is Christ the Lord, Masters be ye glad!
Christmas is come in, and no folk should be sad.
Chorus
