THE FIRST NOEL
Verse 1
The first Noel the angel 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.
Refrain
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
born is the King of Israel.
Verse 2
They looked to see 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.
Verse 3
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.
Verse 4
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.
