The First Noel
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
Over Bethlehem it took its rest
And there it did both stop and stay
Right over the place where Jesus lay
Noel Noel Noel Noel!
Born is the King of Israel!
Then did they know assuredly
Within that house the King did lie
One entered in then for to see
And found the Babe in poverty
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 naught
And with His blood
Mankind hath bought
Noel Noel Noel Noel!
Born is the King of Israel!
