The First Noel Lyrics - Living Room Sessions: Christmas - Chris Rice

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 

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 

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 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 Pause and stay 

Right o'er the place where Jesus 

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel 

Born is the King of Israel 

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 naught 

And with his blood mankind has bought 

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel 

Born is the King of Israel
