Chris Rice The First Noel Lyrics

The First Noel Lyrics

The First Noel, the Angels 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



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 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 northwest

O'er Bethlehem it took its rest

And there it did both Pause and stay

Right o'er the place where Jesus



Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel

Born is the King of Israel



Then entered in those Wise men three

Full reverently upon their knee

And offered there in His presence

Their gold and myrrh and frankincense



Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel

Born is the King of Israel



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 has bought



Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel

Born is the King of Israel
