The first Noel the Angel did say Lyrics

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. They look’d above and there saw a star,

That shone in the east beyond them afar,

And which to earth did give a great light,

And so it continued by 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 intents,

And to follow the star wherever it went.

4. This star drew near to the north west,

At length over Bethlehem seemed to rest,

And there it stayed by night and by day,

Right over the place where Jesus lay.

5. Then entered in, those wise men three,

Most reverently with bended knee;

And offered there in His presence,

Both gold and myrrh, with frankincense.

6. Then let us all with one accord

Sing praises to our heavenly Lord;

That made both heaven and earth of nought.

And with his blood mankind has bought.
