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