The First Noel the angel did say
Was to certain poor shepherds
in fields as they lay
In fields as they lay, keeping their sheep
On a cold winter's night that was so deepNoel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of IsraelThey 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 nightAnd 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 wentThis 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 layThen entered in those wise men three
Full reverently upon their knee,
and offered there in his presence
Their gold, and myrrh, and frankincenseThen 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
