#118The First Noel
Hymn Display
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 winter's night that was so deep.
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.
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.
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.
5
Then entered in those wise men three,
Full reverently upon their knee;
And offered there, in His presence,
Their gold, and myrrh, and frankincense.
C
Chorus
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
Born is the King of Israel.
