1. The first Noel that the Angel did say
Was to certain poor Shepherds in fields where 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 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. Chorus.

3. And by the light of that same Star
Three Wise Men came from countries far,
To seek a King was their intent,
And to follow the Star wheresoever it went. Chorus.

4. This Star drew nigh to the North West,
And at Bethlehem it took its rest,
And there it did both stop and stay,
Right over the house where Jesus lay. Chorus.

5. Then did they know assuredly
Within that house the King did lie;
Then entered in one for to see,
And found the Babe in poverty. Chorus.

6. Then entered in these Wise Men three,
Most reverently upon their knee,
And offered there in his presence
Both gold, and myrrh, and frankincense. Chorus.

7. Now let us all with one accord
Sing praises to our Heavenly Lord,
The which hath made Heaven and Earth of nought,
And by his blood Mankind hath bought. Chorus.
