First Noel

[Verse 1]
The First Noel, the Angels 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!

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
And by the light of that same star
Three Wise men came from country far
To seek for a King was their intent
And to follow the star wherever it went

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
This star drew nigh to the northwest
O'er Bethlehem it took its rest
And there it did both Pause and stay
Right o'er the place where Jesus lay

[Chorus]
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel!

[Verse 4]
Then entered in those Wise men three
Full reverently upon their knee
And offered there in His presence
Their gold and myrrh and frankincense

[Chorus]

[Verse 5]
Then let us all with one accord
Sing praises to our heavenly Lord
That hath made Heaven and earth of nought
And with his blood mankind has bought

[Chorus]
