Bj 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]
