Was to certain poor shepherds
in fields as they lay;
In fields as 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 it rest,
And there it did both
stop and stay
Right over 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 frakincense.
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 naught,
And with his blood
mankind hath bought.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
Born is the King of Israel.
