The First Noel

The first

Noel, the angel did say

Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay

In fields where they lay, a keeping their sheep

On a cold winter's night that was so deep

Noel, Noel,

Noel, Noel, born is the

King of Israel

They 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

Noel, Noel,

Noel, Noel, born is the

King of Israel

And by the light of that same star

Three wise men came from the country far

To seek for a

King was their intent

And to follow the star wherever it went

Noel, Noel,

Noel, Noel, born is the

King of Israel

This star drew nigh to the north west

Over Bethlehem it took its rest

And there it did both stop and stay

Right over the place where

Jesus layNoel,

Noel, Noel,

Noel, born is the

King of Israel

Then entered in those wise men three

Fell reverently upon their knee

And offered there in

His presence

Their gold and myrrh and frankincense

Noel, Noel,

Noel, Noel, born is the kind of

IsraelThen let us all with one accord

Sing praises to our heavenly

LordThat hath made heaven and earth of nought

And with his blood mankind has bought

Noel, Noel,

Noel, Noel, born is the

King of Israel
