AIR SUPPLY - THE FIRST NOEL lyrics

rate me

The first noel

The angels did say

Was to certain poor shepherds

In fields as they lay

keeping their sheep

On a cold winter's night

That was so deep

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

Noel, noel, noel, noel

Born is the King of Israel

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.

Noel, noel, noel, noel

Born is the King of Israel

This star drew nigh

To the northwest

O'er Bethlehem

It took its rest

And there it did

Both stop and stay

Right o'er the place

where Jesus lay.

Noel, noel, noel, noel

Born is the King of Israel

Then they did know

and in wonder confide

that within that house

a king did reside.

One entered in then,

with his own eyes to see

and discovered the

babe in poverty.

Noel, noel, noel, noel

Born is the king of Israel

Between the stalls

of the oxen, forlorn,

This child on that cold

night in truth was born.

And for want of a crib,

Mary did Him lay

In the depths of a manger

amongst the hay.

Noel, noel, noel, noel

Born is the king of Israel

Then entered in all

Those Wise men three

Fell reverently

upon bended knee

And offered there

In His presence

Their gold

And of myrrh and of frankincense.

Noel, noel, noel, noel

Born is the King of Israel

And let us all

With one accord

Sing praises to our heavenly Lord

That hath in heaven and earth of nought

And with his blood mankind hath bought

Noel, noel, noel, noel

Born is the King of Israel
