The First Noel, the Angels did say
D A D E A
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay
A E D A
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep
D A D E A
On a cold winter's night that was so deep.
A E D A
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
D A D E A
Born is the King of Israel!
A E D A
They looked up and saw a star
D A D E A
Shining in the East beyond them far
A E D A
And to the Earth it gave great light
D A D E A
And so it continued both day and night.
A E D A
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
D A D E A
Born is the King of Israel!
A E D A
And by the light of that same star
D A D E A
Three Wise men came from country far
A E D A
To seek for a King was their intent
D A D E A
And to follow the star wherever it went.
A E D A
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
D A D E A
Born is the King of Israel!
A E D A
This star drew nigh to the northwest
D A D E A
O'er Bethlehem it took its rest
A E D A
And there it did both Pause and stay
D A D E A
Right o'er the place where Jesus lay.
A E D A
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
D A D E A
Born is the King of Israel!
A E D A
Then entered in those Wise men three
D A D E A
Full reverently upon their knee
A E D A
And offered there in His presence
D A D E A
Their gold and myrrh and frankincense.
A E D A
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
D A D E A
Born is the King of Israel!
A E D A
Then let us all with one accord
D A D E A
Sing praises to our heavenly Lord
A E D A
That hath made Heaven and Earth of nought
D A D E A
And with his blood mankind has bought.
A E D A
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
D A D E A
Born is the King of Israel!
