The First Noel Lyrics & Chords

William Sandys | Davies Gilbert

(D)The first No(A)el (Em)the (D)angels (G)did (D)say

(A)Was to (D)certain (G)poor (D)shepherds (A)in (D)fields as (A)they (G)lay:

(A)In (D)fields where (A)they (Em)lay (D)keeping (G)their (D)sheep

(A)On a (D)cold (G)winter's (D)night (A)that (D)was (A)so (D)deep.



Chorus

(A)No(D)el, Noel, (D)No(G)el, No(D)el

Born is (G)the (D)King (A)of (D)Is(A)ra(D)el.



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.



And by the light of that same star

Three wise men came from the country far;

To seek for a King was their intent,

And to follow the star wherever it went.



This star drew nigh to the north-west;

O'er Bethlehem it took it's rest,

And there it did both stop and stay,

Right over the place where Jesus lay.



Then entered in those wise men three,

Fell reverently upon their knee,

And offered there in his presence

Their gold and myrrh and frankincense.



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 has bought.
