16. THE FIRST NOEL
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 night 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 nigh
This star drew nigh to the northwest
O'er Bethlehem it took its rest,
And there it did both stop and stay,
Right over the place where Jesus lay.
Then entered in the wise men three,
Full reverently upon their knee,
And offered there in His presence
Their gold and myrrh and frankincense.
