- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
