The First Noel

[Verse 1]
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

[Refrain]
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel!

[Verse 2]
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

[Refrain]
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel!

[Verse 3]
And by the light of that same star
Three Wise men camе from country far
To seek for a King was their intent
And to follow the star whеrever it went

[Refrain]
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel!

[Verse 4]
This star drew nigh to the northwest
O'er Bethlehem it took its rest
And there it did both stop and stay
Right over the place where Jesus lay

[Verse 5]
Then entered in those Wise men three
Fell reverently upon their knee
And offered there in His presence
Their gold and myrrh and frankincense

[Refrain]
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel!
