The First Noí«l
The first Noí«l 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
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
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
(chorus)
Then entered in the wise men three
Full reverently, upon their knee
And offered there in His presence
Their gold and myrrh and frankincense
Oh, Noí«l, Noí«l, Noí«l, Noí«l
Born is the King of Israí«l
No, Noí«l
