The First Noel Lyrics

The first Noel the angel did say
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay
In fields where they lay tending their sheep
On a cold winter's night that was so deepNoel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of IsraelThey look?d 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
Over Bethlehem it took its rest
And there it did both stop and stay
Right over the place where Jesus layNoel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of IsraelThen did they know assuredly
Within that house the King did lie

One entered it them for to see
And found the Babe in povertyNoel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of IsraelThen entered in those Wise Men three
Full reverently upon the knee
And offered there, in His presence
Their gold and myrrh and frankincenseNoel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of IsraelBetween an ox stall and an ass
This Child truly there He was
For want of clothing they did Him lay
All in a manger, among the hayNoel, 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 hath boughtNoel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of IsraelIf we in our time shall do well
We shall be free from death and hell
For God hath prepared for us all
A resting place in generalNoel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel
