The First Noel

[Verse 1]
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 that was so deep
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

[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

[Verse 4]
This star drew nigh to the northwest
O'er Bethlehem it took it rest
And there it did both stop and stay
Right over the place where Jesus lay

[Verse 5]
Then entered in those wise men three
Full reverently upon their knee
And offered there in his presence
Their gold, and myrrh, and frankincense

[Verse 6]
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
