Couplet 1

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 winters night
That was so deep

Couplet 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

Couplet 3

And by the light
Of that same star
Three wise men came
From country afar
To seek for a king
Was their intent
And to follow the star
Wherever it went

Couplet 4

This star drew nigh
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

Refrain

Noel Noel Noel Noel
Born is the King of Israel.

Couplet 5

Then entered in
Those wise men three
Full rev’rently
Upon their knee
And offered there
In His presence
Their gold and myrrh
And frankincense

Refrain

Noel Noel Noel Noel
Born is the King of Israel.

Couplet 6

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

Noel Noel Noel Noel
Born is the King of Israel
Noel Noel Noel Noel
Born is the King of Israel
