Lyrics for “The First Noel” | Sheet Music
- The first Noel, the angel(s) did say,was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay;1In fields where they, lay keeping their sheep,2on a cold winter’s night that was so deep;3
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 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;
This star drew nigh to the north west,o’er Bethlehem it took its rest;And there it did both stop and stay,high over the place where Jesus lay;
Then entered in those wise men three,full reverently upon their knee,and offered there in his presence,their gold, and myrrh, and frankincense;
Then let us all with one accordsing praises to our heavenly Lord;That hath made heaven and earth of nought,and with his blood mankind hath bought;
1 or “was to three poor shepherds”2 comma may occur after “lay,” changing the line’s meteralso “tending” in place of keeping3 or “on a cold winter’s night with snow so deep”
