The First Noel

Words: Trad. English carol

Music: Trad. English carol; harm from Christmas Carols New and Old

Tune: ---, Meter: Irr. with Refrain

Arranged and performed by Allison Crowe

The first Noel the angel did say

was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay;

in fields where they lay keeping their sheep,

on a cold winter's night that was so deep.

Refrain:

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.

(Refrain)

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.

(Refrain)

This star drew nigh to the northwest,

o'er Bethlehem it took its rest;

and there it did both stop and stay,

right over the place where Jesus lay.

(Refrain)
