The First Noel Lyrics

 

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 dark starry night that was so deep.

 

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.

 

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel

Born is the King of Israel!

 

And by the light of that same star,

The wise men came from country far;

To seek for a King was their intent,

And to follow the star wherever it went.

 

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel

Born is the King of Israel!

 

This star drew nigh to the northwest,

O'er Bethlehem it took its rest;

And there it did both Pause and stay,

Right o'er the place where Jesus lay.

 

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel

Born is the King of Israel!

 

Then entered in those Wise men three,

Full reverently upon their knee;

And offered there in His presence,

Their gold and myrrh and frankincense.

 

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel

Born is the King of Israel!

 

Then let us all with one accord,

Sing praises to our heavenly Lord;

That hath made Heaven and earth of naught,

And with his blood mankind has bought.

 

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel

Born is the King of Israel!
