The first Noel
[C] [G]
the angel did say
[C]
Was to certain poor
[D] [C] [G]
Shepards in fields as they lay:
[G] [D]
In fields where they lay
[C] [G]
a keeping their sheep
[C] [D] [C][G]
On a cold winter's night that was so deep.
[G] [D] [C] [G]
Noel Noel Noel Noel
[C] [D] [C] [G]
Born is the King of Israel.
[G] [D]
They looked up
[C] [G]
and saw a star
[C] [D] [C] [G]
Shining in the east beyond them far:
[G] [D]
And to the earth
[C] [G]
it gave great light
[C] [D] [C] [G]
And so it continued both day and night.
{chorus}
[G] [D]
And by the light
[C] [G]
of that same star
[C] [D] [C] [G]
Three wise men came from the country far;
[G] [D]
To seek for a King
[C] [G]
was their intent,
[C] [D] [C] [G]
And to follow the star wherever it went.
{chorus}
[G] [D]
This star drew
[C] [G]
nigh to the north-west;
[C] [D] [C] [G]
O'er Bethlehem it took it's rest,
[G] [D]
And there it did
[C] [G]
both stop and stay,
[C] [D] [C] [G]
Right over the place where Jesus lay.
{chorus}
[G] [D]
Then entered in
[C] [G]
those wise men three,
[C] [D] [C] [G]
Fell reverently upon their knee,
[G] [D]
And offered there
[C][G]
in his presence
[C] [D] [C] [G]
Their gold and myrrh and frankincense.
{chorus}
[G] [D]
Then let us all
[C] [G]
with one accord
[C] [D] [C] [G]
Sing praises to our heavenly Lord,
[G] [D]
That hath made
[C] [G]
heaven and earth of nought,
[C] [D] [C] [G]
And with his blood mankind has bought.
{chorus}
