First Nowell Lyrics - Christmas Carols

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. 

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. 

And by the light of that same star To seek for a King was their intent, 

And to follow the star wherever it went.

[Chorus] 

This star drew nigh to the north-west; 

O'er Bethlehem it took it's 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.
