| The First Noel |
| |
| 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. |
| |
| They looked up and saw a star |
| Shining in the 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 wherever it went. |
| |
| This star drew night 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. |
| |
| Then entered in those wise men three |
| Full reverently upon their knee |
| And offered there in his presence |
| Their gold, and myrrh, and frankincense |
| |
