CHORUS:
|
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.
|
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
|
Born is the King of Israel
|
|
VERSE1:
|
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
|
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
|
Born is the King of Israel
|
|
(The following 4 verses are not sung on the Boney M version)
|
|
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)
|
|
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.
|
(CHORUS)
|
|
Then entered in those wise men three
|
Full reverently upon their knee,
|
and offered there in his presence
|
Their gold, and myrrh, and frakincense.
|
(CHORUS)
|
|
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.
|
(CHORUS)
|
|
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.
|
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
|
Born is the King of Israel
|
