The First Noel Lyrics - You Gave Me Love (when Nobody Gave Me A Prayer)/miracle - Bj Thomas

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. 

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 far, 

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 did they know assuredly 

Within that house the King did lie, 

One entered it them for to see, 

And found the Babe in poverty. 

[Chorus] 

Then entered in those Wise Men three, 

Full reverently upon the knee, 

And offered there, in His presence, 

Their gold and myrrh and frankincense. 

[Chorus] 

Between an ox stall and an ass, 

This Child truly there He was, 

For want of clothing they did Him lay 

All in a manger, among the hay. 

[Chorus] 

Then let us all with one accord 

Sing praises to our heavenly Lord, 

That hath made Heaven and earth of naught, 

And with His blood mankind hath bought. 

[Chorus] 

If we in our time shall do well, 

We shall be free from death and hell, 

For God hath prepared for us all 

A resting place in general. 

[Chorus]
