The first Noel the angel did say
|
was to certain poor shepards in fields as they lay:
|
in fields where they lay a keeping their sheep
|
on a cold winter's night that was so deep.
|
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.
|
Noel Noel Noel Noel
|
born is the King of Israel.
|
|
And by the light of that same star
|
three wise men came from the country far;
|
to seek for a King was their intent,
|
and to follow the star wherever it went.
|
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
|
born is the King of Israel.
|
|
This star drew nigh to the north-west;
|
o'er Bethlehem it took its rest,
|
and there it did both stop and stay,
|
right over the place where Jesus lay.
|
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
|
born is the King of Israel.
|
|
Then entered in those wise men three,
|
fell reverently upon their knee,
|
and offered there in his presence
|
their gold and myrrh and frankincense.
|
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
|
born is the kind of Israel.
|
|
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.
|
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
|
born is the King of Israel.
