The first Noel, the angel 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 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 night to the northwest,
|
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,
|
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.
