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!

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
That 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 stop and stay
Right o'er the place where jesus lay
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 has bought

Noel, noel, noel, noel
Noel, noel, noel, noel
Born is the king of israel!
Born is the king of israel!
