Chorus: 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
Verse1: 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
(the following 4 verses are not sung on the boney m version)
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, O'er bethlehem it took it rest, And there it did both stop and stay Right over the place where jesus lay. (chorus)
Then entered in those wise men three Full reverently upon their knee, And offered there in his presence Their gold, and myrrh, and frakincense. (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)
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
