The first Noel the angel did say,

Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay;

In fields where they lay keeping their sheep 
     F            C          G   G7- C
On a cold winters night that was so deep

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel Born is the King of Israel. 

The looked up and saw a star
Shining in the East beyond them far
And to the earth in gave great light
And so it continued both day and night

{c:Refrain}

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

{c:Refrain}

This star drew nigh to the northwest
O'er Bethlelem it took its rest
And there it did both stop and stay
Right over the place where Jesus lay

{c:Refrain}

Then entered in those wise men three
Full rev'rently upon their knee
And offered there in his presence
Their gold, and myrrh and frankincense

{c:Refrain}

Then let us all with one accord
Sing praises to our heav'nly Lord
That hath made heav'n and earth of naught
And with his blood mankind hath bought
