The first Noel the angel did say
|
Was to certain poor sheperds in fields as they lay
|
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep
|
On a cold winters' 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 easy 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 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 night to the northwest
|
O'er Bethlehem it took it's rest
|
And there it did both pause and stay
|
Right o'er the place where Jesus lay
|
|
Noel Noel Noel Noel
|
Born is the king of Israel
|
|
Then entered in those wise men three
|
Full reverently upon their knee
|
And offered there in his prescence
|
Their gold and myrrh and frankincense
|
|
Noel Noel Noel Noel
|
Born is the king 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
