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!
|
|
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 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 northwest
|
O'er Bethlehem it took its 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 presence
|
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!
|
