First Noel
[Verse]
G -- D -- Em -- D -- The First Noel, the Angels did say
Em -- D -- C -- G -- Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay
G -- D -- Em -- D -- In fields where they lay keeping their sheep
Em -- D -- C -- G -- On a cold winter's night that was so deep
[Chorus]
G -- D -- Em -- Bm -- Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Em -- D -- C -- G -- Born is the King of Israel!
[Verse]
G -- D -- Em -- D -- They looked up and saw a star
Em -- D -- C -- G -- Shining in the East beyond them far
G -- D -- Em -- D -- And to the earth it gave great light
Em -- D -- C -- G -- And so it continued both day and night
[Chorus]
G -- D -- Em -- Bm -- Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Em -- D -- C -- G -- Born is the King of Israel!
[Verse]
G -- D -- Em -- D -- And by the light of that same star
Em -- D -- C -- G -- Three Wise men came from country far
G -- D -- Em -- D -- To seek for a King was their intent
Em -- D -- C -- G -- And to follow the star wherever it went.
[Chorus]
G -- D -- Em -- Bm -- Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Em -- D -- C -- G -- Born is the King of Israel!
[Verse]
G -- D -- Em -- D -- This star drew nigh to the northwest
Em -- D -- C -- G -- O'er Bethlehem it took its rest
G -- D -- Em -- D -- And there it did both Pause and stay
Em -- D -- C -- G -- Right o'er the place where Jesus lay.
[Chorus]
G -- D -- Em -- Bm -- Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Em -- D -- C -- G -- Born is the King of Israel!
[Verse]
G -- D -- Em -- D -- Then entered in those Wise men three
Em -- D -- C -- G -- Full reverently upon their knee
G -- D -- Em -- D -- And offered there in His presence
Em -- D -- C -- G -- Their gold and myrrh and frankincense.
[Chorus]
G -- D -- Em -- Bm -- Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Em -- D -- C -- G -- Born is the King of Israel!
[Verse]
G -- D -- Em -- D -- Then let us all with one accord
Em -- D -- C -- G -- Sing praises to our heavenly Lord
G -- D -- Em -- D -- That hath made Heaven and earth of nought
Em -- D -- C -- G -- And with his blood mankind has bought.
[Chorus]
G -- D -- Em -- Bm -- Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Em -- D -- C -- G -- Born is the King of Israel!
