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,
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!
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,
Shining in the east, beyond them far,
And to the earth it gave great light,
And so it continued both day and night,
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 whersoever it went,
Three Wise Men came from country far,
To seek for a King was their intent,
And to follow the star whersoever it went,
This star drew nigh to the northwest,
Over Bethlehem it took its rest,
And there it did both stop and stay,
Right over the place where Jesus lay,
Over Bethlehem it took its rest,
And there it did both stop and stay,
Right over the place where Jesus lay,
Then entered in those Wise men three,
Full reverently upon their knee,
And offered there in his presence,
Their gold and myrrh and frankincense,
Full reverently upon their knee,
And offered there in his presence,
Their gold and myrrh and frankincense,
Then let us all with one accord,
Sing praises to our heavenly Lord,
That has made heaven and earth of nought,
And with his blood mankind has bought,
Sing praises to our heavenly Lord,
That has made heaven and earth of nought,
And with his blood mankind has bought,
