I Am Here, Sir Christemas Lyrics

"Nowell nowell, nowell nowell."
"Who is there that singeth so: nowell nowell?"

"I am here, Sir Christémas."
"Welcome, my Lord Sir Christémas!"
Welcome to all, both more and less!
Come near, nowell!"

"Dieu vous garde, beaux sieurs, tidings I you bring:
A maid hath born a child full young,
Which causeth you to sing
Nowell nowell, nowell nowell.

"Christ is now born of a pure maid,
In an ox-stall he is laid;
Wherefore sing we all at a brayde:
Nowell nowell, nowell nowell.

"Buvez bien par toute la compagnie.
Make good cheer and be right merry,
And sing with us now joyfully:
Nowell nowell, nowell nowell!"
