First Noel

The first Noel, the angels did say
Was to certain poor shepherd in fields as they lay
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep
On a cold's winter's night that was so deep

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

They look at us and soar 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 wiseman came from country
To seek the 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
O'er Bethlehem it took its 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 entered in those wisemen three
Fell reverently upon their knee
And offered there in his presence
Their gold and myrrh and frankenscence

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
