B.J. Thomas - The First Noel lyrics

The first Noel the angel did say Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay In fields where they lay tending their sheep On a cold winter's night that was so deep [Chorus] 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 [Chorus] 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 Over Bethlehem it took its rest And there it did both stop and stay Right over the place where Jesus lay [Chorus] Then did they know a**uredly Within that house the King did lie One entered it them for to see And found the Babe in poverty [Chorus] Then entered in those Wise Men three Full reverently upon the knee And offered there, in His presence Their gold and myrrh and frankincense [Chorus] Between an ox stall and an a** This Child truly there He was For want of clothing they did Him lay All in a manger, among the hay [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] If we in our time shall do well We shall be free from d**h and hell For God hath prepared for us all A resting place in general [Chorus]
