The First Noel Lyrics - Sarah Mclachlan

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 lay. 

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 nought 

And with his blood mankind has bought. 

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel 

Born is the King of Israel!
