"The First Noel" is a traditional classical English Christmas song written by William Sandys and Davies Gilbert.
Lyrics[]
The first Noel the angel 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 that was so deep
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
And by the light of that same star
Three wise men came from country afar
To seek for a king was their intent
And to follow the star wherever it went
[Chorus]
This star drew nigh to the northwest
Over Bethlehem it took its rest
And there it did both stop and stay
Right over the place where Jesus lay
[Chorus]
Then entered in those wise men three
Fell reverently upon their knee
And offered there in his presence
Their gold and myrrh and frankincense
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
