The first |
|
Noel, the angel did say |
|
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay |
|
In fields where they lay, a 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 east, beyond them far |
|
And to the earth it gave great light |
|
And so it continued both day and night |
|
Noel, Noel, |
|
Noel, Noel, born is the |
|
King of Israel |
|
And by the light of that same star |
|
Three wise men came from the country far |
|
To seek for a |
|
King was their intent |
|
And to follow the star wherever it went |
|
Noel, Noel, |
|
Noel, Noel, born is the |
|
King of Israel |
|
This star drew nigh to the north west |
|
Over Bethlehem it took its rest |
|
And there it did both stop and stay |
|
Right over the place where |
|
Jesus layNoel, |
|
Noel, Noel, |
|
Noel, born is the |
|
King of Israel |
|
Then entered in those wise men three |
|
Fell reverently upon their knee |
|
And offered there in |
|
His presence |
|
Their gold and myrrh and frankincense |
|
Noel, Noel, |
|
Noel, Noel, born is the kind of |
|
IsraelThen let us all with one accord |
|
Sing praises to our heavenly |
|
LordThat hath made heaven and earth of nought |
|
And with his blood mankind has bought |
|
Noel, Noel, |
|
Noel, Noel, born is the |
|
King of Israel |
