The [C]first No-[G]el the an[F]gel did [C]say
Was to [F]certain poor [C]shepherds in [G]fields as they [C]lay;
In [C]fields where [G]they lay [F]keeping their [C]sheep,
On a [F]cold win-ter's [C]night that[G]was so [C]deep.

{comment: Chorus}
{start_of_chorus} 
No[C]-el, No-[G]el, No[F]-el, No-[C]el
B[F]orn is the [C]King of [G]Is-ra-[C]el.
{end_of_chorus}

{comment: Verse 2}
They [C]looked u[G]p and [F]saw a [C]star 
Shining[F] in the [C]east, beyo[G]nd them [C]far;
And [C]to the [G]earth it g[F]ave great [C]light,
And [F]so it con[C]tinued both [G]day and [C]night.

{comment: Verse 3}
And [C]by the[G] light of t[F]hat same [C]star
Three [F]Wise Men [C]came from [G]country [C]afar;
To [C]seek for [G]a King [F]was their [C]intent,
And to [F]follow the [C]star wh[G]erever it [C]went.

{comment: Verse 4}
This [C]star drew [G]nigh to [F]the [C]northwest,
O'er [F]Bethleh[C]em it [G]took it [C]rest;
And [C]there it [G]did both [F]stop and [C]stay
Right [F]over the [C]place where[G] Jesus [C]lay.


{comment: Verse 5}
Then [C]entered [G]in those [F]Wise Men [C]three,
Full [F]reveren[C]tly up[G]on their [C]knee,
And [C]offered [G]there, in [F]His pres[C]ence,
Their [F]gold and [C]myrrh and [G]frankince[C]nse.

{comment: Verse 6}
Then [C]let us [G]all with [F]one acc[C]ord
Sing [F]praises to[C] our hea[G]venly L[C]ord;
That hath [C]made hea[G]ven and e[F]arth of [C]naught,
And [F]with His blo[C]od man[G]kind hath [C]bought.

The first No-el 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 win-ter's night thatwas so deep.

No-el, No-el, No-el, No-el
Born is the King of Is-ra-el.

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.

And by the light of that same star
Three Wise Men came from country afar;
To seek for a King was their intent,
And to follow the star wherever it went.

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.


Then entered in those Wise Men three,
Full reverently upon their knee,
And offered there, in His presence,
Their gold and myrrh and frankincense.

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.
