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
Noel Noel Noel Noel
Born is the king of Israel
The looked up and saw a star
Shining in the East beyond them far
And to the earth in gave great light
And so it continued both day and night
Refrain
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
Refrain
This star drew nigh to the northwest
O’er Bethlelem it took its rest
And there it did both stop and stay
Right over the place where Jesus lay
Refrain
Then entered in those wise men three
Full rev’rently upon their knee
And offered there in his presence
Their gold, and myrrh and frankincense
Refrain
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
