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 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 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 This star drew nigh to the northwest O'er Bethlehem it took its rest And there it did both stop and stay Right over the place where Jesus lay Then entered in those wise men three Full rev'rently upon the knee And offered there in His presence Their gold and myrrh and frankincense
2.
O little town of Bethlehem How still we see thee lie Above thy deep and dreamless sleep The silent stars go by Yet in thy dark streets shineth The everlasting Light The hopes and fears of all the years Are met in thee tonight How silently how silently The wondrous gift is given So God imparts to human hearts The blessings of His heaven No ear may hear His coming But in this world of sin Where meek souls will receive Him still The dear Christ enters in O holy Child of Bethlehem Descend to us we pray Cast out our sin and enter in Be born in us today We hear the Christmas angels The great glad tidings tell O come to us abide with us Our Lord Emmanuel
3.
O come all ye faithful Joyful and triumphant O come ye O come ye to Bethlehem Come and behold Him Born the King of angels O come let us adore Him O come let us adore Him O come let us adore Him Christ the Lord Sing choirs of angels Sing in exultation O sing all ye bright Hosts of heav'n above Glory to God all Glory in the highest Yea Lord we greet Thee Born this happy morning Jesus to Thee be all glory giv'n Word of the Father Now in flesh appearing
4.
Angels from the realms of glory Wing your flight o'er all the earth Ye who sang creation's story Now proclaim Messiah's birth Come and worship come and worship Worship Christ the newborn King Shepherds in the field abiding Watching o'er your flocks by night God with us is now residing Yonder shines the infant light Sages leave your contemplations Brighter visions beam afar Seek the great Desire of nations Ye have seen His natal star Saints before the altar bending Watching long in hope and fear Suddenly the Lord descending In His temple shall appear Sinners wrung with true repentance Doomed for guilt to endless pains Justice now revokes the sentence Mercy calls you break your chains Though an infant now we view Him He shall fill His Father's throne Gather all nations to Him Every knee shall then bow down All creation join in praising God the Father Spirit Son Evermore your voices raising To the eternal Three in One
5.
While shepherds watched Their flocks by night All seated on the ground The angel of the Lord came down And glory shone around And glory shone around Fear not said he for mighty dread Had seized their troubled mind Glad tidings of great joy I bring To you and all mankind To you and all mankind To you in David's town this day Is born of David's line The Savior who is Christ the Lord And this shall be the sign And this shall be the sign The heavenly Babe you there shall find To human view displayed All meanly wrapped in swathing bands And in a manger laid And in a manger laid Thus spake the seraph and forthwith Appeared a shining throng Of angels praising God who thus Addressed their joyful song Addressed their joyful song All glory be to God on high And to the earth be peace Good will hence forth From heaven to men Begin and never cease Begin and never cease
