The first No-el the angels did say Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they ley In field where they lay keeping their sheep, On a colds winters 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 by day and night Noel, noel, noel, noel Born is the King of Israel And by the light of that same star Some 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 near to the north-west O'er Bethlehem it took its rest And there it did both stop and stay Right over the place where Jesus Lay 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 nought And with his blood mankind hath bought Noel, noel, noel, noel Born is the King of Israel
