THE FIRST NOEL
CHORUS 1.
Noel, noel. Noel, noel.
Born is the King of Israel.
VS 1.
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,
On a cold winter's night that was so deep.
VS 2.
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,
And so it continued both day and night.
VS 3.
And by the light of thta 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.
And to follow the star wherever it went.
VS 4.
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,
Right over the place where Jesus lay.
VS 5.
Then entered in those wise men three,
Full rev'rently upon their knee,
And offered there in His presence
Their gold, and myrrh, and frankincense,
Their gold, and myrrh, and frankincense.
VS 6.
Then let us all with one accord
Sing praises to our heav'nly Lord,
That hath made heav'n and earth of naught,
And with His blood mankind hath bought,
And with His blood mankind hath bought.
