The First Noel : -ghf091 - [Play Midi]

1. The first noel the angel did say
   Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay
   In field where they lay keeping their sheep,
   On a cold winter's night that was so deep.

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
   The wise me came from country far
   To seek for a king was their intent
   And to follow the star wherever it went.

4. This star drew nigh to the northwest
   O'er Bethlehem it took its rest;
   And there it did both stop and stay
   Right over the place where Jesus lay.

5. Then entered in those wise - men
   Full rev'rently upon their knee
   And offered there, in His presence
   Their gold and myrrh and frankincense.

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

Chorus:

Noel, noel! Noel, noel!
Born is the King of Israel!
