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
