THE FIRST NOEL

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

Chorus: Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
               Born is the King of Israel.

  1. They look’d above, and there saw a star,
    That shone in the east, beyond the afar,
    And which to earth, did give a great light,
    And so it continued, by day and night.
  2. And by the light, of that same Star,
    Three wise men came, from country far,
    To seek for a king, was their intents,
    And to follow the star, wherever it went.
  3. This star drew near, to the north west,
    At length over Bethlehem, seemed to rest,
    And there it stayed, by night and by day,
    Right over the place, where Jesus lay.
  4. Then entered in, those wise men three,
    Most reverently, with bended knee,
    And offered there, in His presence,
    Both gold and myrrh, with frankincense.
  5. Then let us all, with one accord,
    Sing praises, to our heavenly Lord,
    That made both heaven, and earth of nought,
    And with his blood, mankind has bought.
