The First Noel

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

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

The star drew nigh to the north-west

On Bethlehem it took its' rest

And there it did both stop and stay

Right over the place where Jesus lay

They entered in, the wise men three

Fall reverently upon their knee

And offered there in his presence

Their gold and myrrh and frankincense

Oh, Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel

Born is the King of Israel

Oh, Noel
