The First Noel

The first noel, the angel did say
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay
In fields as they lay, keeping their sheep
On a cold winter's night- their love so deep

Noel, noel, noel, noel
Born is the king of Israel

They looked up and saw a star
Shining in the east, beyond and 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 countries afar
To seek for a king, that was their intent
And to follow the star wherever it went

Noel, noel, noel, noel
Born is the king of Israel

The star drew nigh to the North-West
Over Bethlehem it took rest
And there it did both stop and stay
Right over the place where Jesus lay

Noel, noel, noel, noel
Born is the king of Israel

Then enter did those wise men three
For reverently upon their knee
And offered there in His presence
Their gold and myrrh and frankincense

Noel, noel, noel, noel
Born is the king of Israel

Then let us all with one accord
Sing praises to our heavenly Lord
That hath made heaven and earth of naught
And with his blood, mankind hath bought

Noel, noel, noel, noel
Born is the king of Israel
