1. The first Noel the angels did say
C
Was to certain poor
G D G
Shepherds in fields as they lay:
G D
In fields where they
C G
Lay keeping their sheep
C G
On a cold winter's night
D G
that was so deep.

2. They looked up and saw a star
C G D G
Shining in the east beyond them far:

And to the earth it gave great light
C G D G
And so it continued both day and night
G D C G
Noel Noel, Noel Noel
C G D G
Born is the King of Israel.

3. And by the light of that same star
C G
Three wise men came

from the country far;
G D C G
To seek for a King was their intent,
C G D G
And to follow the star wherever it went.
