Musical Advent Calendar - Day 20 - The First Noel

The First Noel

Verse 1

The first Noel the angel did sayWas to certain poor shepherds in fields as they layIn fields where they lay keeping their sheepOn a cold winter's night that was so deep

Chorus

Noel Noel Noel NoelBorn is the King of Israel

Verse 2

They looked up and saw a starShining in the east beyond them farAnd to the earth it gave great lightAnd so it continued both day and night

Verse 3

And by the light of that same starThree wise men came from country farTo seek for a king was their intentAnd to follow the star wherever it went

Verse 4

This star drew nigh to the northwestO'er Bethlehem it took its restAnd there it did both stop and stayRight over the place where Jesus lay

Verse 5

Then entered in those wise men threeFull rev'rently upon the kneeAnd offered there in His presenceTheir gold and myrrh and frankincense
