The First Noel, the Angel Did Say

1 The first noel the angel 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

2 They looked up and saw a star

Shinning 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 wherever it went

4 Then entered those wise men three

Full rev’rently upon their knee

And offered there in His presence

Their gold and myrrh and frankincense
