verse 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
refrain
Noel Noel Noel Noel Born is the King of Israel
verse 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
verse 3
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
verse 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
verse 5
Then entered in those Wise Men three Full reverently upon the knee
And offered there in His presence Their gold and myrrh and frankincense
verse 6
Then let us all with one accord Sing praises to our heavenly Lord
That hath made heaven and earth of naught And with His blood mankind hath bought
