(Old English Carol/Traditional melody from W. Sandy's "Christmas Carols")

Verse 1:
A   D       F#m     G         D
The first Noel  the angel did say
       G            D            A              G
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay;
A  D            F#m       G             D
In fields where they  lay keeping their sheep,
     G             D          A      G
On a cold winter's night that was so deep.
  D     F#m   G     D    Bm          F#m  G  Em  D/F#  A   D
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,  born is the King    of  Is-   ra- el.

Verse 2:
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.

Verse 3:
This start drew nigh to the northwest,
O'er Bethlehem it took its rest,
And there id did both stop and stay,
Right over the place where Jesus lay.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,  born is the King of Israel.

Verse 4:
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.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,  born is the King of Israel.
