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. |
|
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 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 its rest |
|
And there it did both Pause and stay |
|
Right o'er the place where Jesus lay. |
|
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel |
|
Born is the King of Israel! |
|
Then entered in those Wise men three |
|
Full 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! |
