- 1.
- The first Noel the angel did say
- Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay;
- In fields where they lay tending their sheep,
- On a cold winter’s night that was so deep.
- Refrain:
- Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
- Born is the King of Israel.
- Refrain:
- 2.
- They lookèd 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.
- Refrain
- 3.
- 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.
- Refrain
- 4.
- This star drew nigh to the northwest,
- Over Bethlehem it took its rest;
- And there it did both stop and stay,
- Right over the place where Jesus lay.
- Refrain
- 5.
- Then did they know assuredly
- Within that house the King did lie;
- One entered it them for to see,
- And found the Babe in poverty.
- Refrain
- 6.
- Then entered in those Wise Men three,
- Full reverently upon the knee,
- And offered there, in His presence,
- Their gold and myrrh and frankincense.
- Refrain
- 7.
- Between an ox stall and an ass,
- This Child truly there He was;
- For want of clothing they did Him lay
- All in a manger, among the hay.
- Refrain
- 8.
- Then let us all with one accord
- Sing praises to our heavenly Lord;
- That hath made Heaven and earth of naught,
- And with His blood mankind hath bought.
- Refrain
- 9.
- If we in our time shall do well,
- We shall be free from death and hell;
- For God hath prepared for us all
- A resting place in general.
- Refrain
