The first Noel
The angel did say
Was to certain poor shepards
In fields as they lay
in fields where they lay
A-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 the 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 it's 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
Fell 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
