"The First Noel" lyrics

The first Noël, 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

Noël, Noël, Noël, Noël
Born is the King of Israel

They look-ed 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

Noël, Noël, Noël, Noël
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

Noël, Noël, Noël, Noël
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

Noël, Noël, Noël, Noël
Born is the King of Israel

Then let us all with one accord
Sing praises to our heav'nly Lord
That hath made heav'n and earth of nought
And with His blood mankind hath bought

Noël, Noël, Noël, Noël
Born is the King of Israel

Noël, Noël, Noël, Noël
Born is the King of Israel
