Lyrics
Verse 1 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 deep Chorus Noel Noel Noel Noel Born is the King of Israel! Verse 2 They 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 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 This star drew nigh to the northwest O'er Bethlehem it took it's rest And there it did both Pause and stay Right o'er the place where Jesus lay Verse 5 Then entered in those Wise Men three Fell reverently upon their knee And offered there in his presence Their gold and myrrh and frankincense
