The First Noel VERSE 1 The first Noel the angel did say Was to certain poor shepherds In fields as they lay; In fields where they Lay tending their sheep, On a cold winter's Night that was so deep.
CHORUS Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel. Born is the King of Israel.
VERSE 2 And by the light of a bright east star The Wise Men came from country far; To worship the King was their intent, So they followed the Star wherever it went.
CHORUS Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel. Born is the King of Israel.
VERSE 3 This star drew nigh to the northwest Over Bethlehem it took its rest And there it did both stop and stay The wise men rejoiced with The star over the place.
CHORUS Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel. Born is the King of Israel.
VERSE 4 Then entered in those Wise Men with glee Full reverently upon the knee And offered there, in Jesus presence Their gold and myrrh and frankincense.
CHORUS Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel. Born is the King of Israel. Words & Tune Traditional English, possibly from 13th Century, Alt. words by D. Simmons, This arrangement © 2009 Donovan Simmons
