The First Noel
Words: Trad. English carol
Music: Trad. English carol; harm from Christmas Carols New and Old
Arranged and performed by Allison Crowe
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
Refrain:
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
(Refrain)
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
(Refrain)
This star drew nigh to the northwest
O'er Bethlehem it took its rest;
And there it did both stop and stay
Right over the place where Jesus lay
(Refrain)
Then entered in those Wise Men three
Full reverently upon the knee
And offered there, in his presence
Gold and myrrh and frankincense
