Nowell, Ell, Both Old And Ying

1. Nowell, ell, both old and ying,
Nowell, ell, now may we sing
In worship of our heaven(ly) King,
Almighty God in Trinity.

2. Listen, lordings, both lief and dear,
Listen, ladies, with glad cheer,
A song of mirth now may ye hear,
How Christ our brother He would be.

3. An angel from heaven was sent full snell,
His name is cleped Gabriel,
His errant he did full snell,
He sat on knee and said "Ave."

4. And he said: "Mary, full of grace,
Heaven and earth in even place,
Within the time of little space,
Reconciled it should be."

5. Mary stood still as any stone,
And to the angel she said anon:
"Then heard I never of man (his) moan,
Methinketh wonder thou sayest to me."

6. The angel answered anon full well:
"Mary dread thee never a deal,
Thou shalt conceive a child full well,
The Holy Ghost shall shadow thee."

7. Mary on breast her hand she laid,
Still she stood and thus she said:
"Lo! me here, God's own handmaid,
With heart and will and body free."

8. Mary mother, maiden mild,
For the love all of thy Child,
Fro Helle pit thou us shield;
Amen, amen, how singe we.
