The First Noël

The First Noel, the angel did say Was to certain poor shepherds in fields where 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 Then 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 This star drew nigh unto the north-west O'er Bethlehem, it took its rest And there it did both stop and they stay Right o'er the place where Jesus lay Then entered in those wise men, three Fell reverently upon their knee And offered there in His only presence Their gold and myrrh and frankincense Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel Born is the King of Israel Born is the King of Israel
