The First Noel

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.
|
|
Then 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.
