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.
Chorus:
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
Born is the King of Israel.
2 For all to see there was 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.[Chorus]
3 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.[Chorus]
4 Then let us all with one accord
Sing praises to our heavenly Lord
Who hath made heaven and earth of naught,
And with His blood mankind hath bought.[Chorus]
