THE FIRST NOEL

See 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
cold winter's night that was so deep,
Chorus:
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 a
great light,
And so it continued both day and night.
Chorus
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.
Chorus
Ths 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.
Chorus
Then entered in those wise
men three,
Full reverently upon their knee;
And offered there in His
presence,
Their gold, and myrrh, and frankincense.
