The first Nel, the angel did say,
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay;
In fields where they lay tending their sheep,
On a cold winter's night that was so deep.

Shining in the East, beyond them far;
And to the earth it gave great light,
And so it continued both day and night.

Born is the King of Israel.
