The first Noel

1. 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 deep.
   • Refrain:
     Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
     Born is the King of Israel.
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.
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 where’er it went.
4. 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.
5. Then let us all with one accord
   Sing praises to our heav’nly Lord
   That hath made heaven and earth of naught,
   And with His blood mankind hath bought.
