1. The first Noel the angels did say
A
Was to certain poor
E B E
Shepherds in fields as they lay:
E B
In fields where they
A E
Lay keeping their sheep
A E
On a cold winter's night
B E
that was so deep.
E B A E
Noel Noel, Noel Noel
A E B E
Born is the King of Israel.

2. They looked up and saw a star
A E B E
Shining in the east beyond them far:
E B A E
And to the earth it gave great light
A E B E
And so it continued both day and night
E B A E
Noel Noel, Noel Noel
A E B E
Born is the King of Israel.

3. And by the light of that same star
A E
Three wise men came
B E
from the country far;
E B A E
To seek for a King was their intent,
A E B E
And to follow the star wherever it went.
E B A E
Noel Noel, Noel Noel
A E B E
Born is the King of Israel.
