The First Noel Lyrics

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 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 nightNoel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of IsraelAnd 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 wentNoel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of IsraelThis 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 JesusNoel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of IsraelThen entered in those Wise men three
Full reverently upon their knee

And offered there in His presence
Their gold and myrrh and frankincenseNoel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of IsraelThen 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 has boughtNoel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel
