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.
  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!
