|
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 |
|
Verse1: |
|
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 |
|
Boney M. |
|
Noel, noel, noel, noel |
|
Born is the king of israel |
|
(the following 4 verses are not sung on the boney m version) |
|
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. |
|
(chorus) |
|
This star drew nigh to the northwest, |
|
O'er bethlehem it took it rest, |
|
And there it did both stop and stay |
|
Right over the place where jesus lay. |
|
(chorus) |
|
Then entered in those wise men three |
|
Full reverently upon their knee, |
|
And offered there in his presence |
|
Their gold, and myrrh, and frakincense. |
|
(chorus) |
|
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. |
|
(chorus) |
|
The first noel the angels did say |
