| CHORUS: The first Noel the Angels 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.
|
| Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
|
| Born is the King of Israel VERSE1: 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 (The following 4 verses are not sung on the Boney M
|
| version) 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. |
| (CHORUS) 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. |
| (CHORUS) Then entered in those wise men
|
| three
|
| Full reverently upon their knee, and offered there in his presence
|
| Their gold, and myrrh, and frakincense. |
| (CHORUS) 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. |
| (CHORUS) The first Noel the Angels 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.

| Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
