FIRST NOEL

The [D] first No[A]el 
the [G] angel did [D] say, 
Was to [G] certain poor [D] shepherds 
in [A] fields as they [D] lay; 
In [D] fields where [A] they lay 
[G] keeping their [D] sheep 
[G] On a [D] cold winter's [A] night 
that [G] was so [D] deep 

Chorus
No[D]el, No[F#m]el, No[G]el, No[D]el 
[D] Born [A] is [G] the [D] King [A] of [G] Isra[D]el. 

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. 

Chorus

This star drew nigh to the North West, 
O'er Bethlehem it took its rest, 
And there it did stop and stay, 
Right over the place where Jesus lay. 

Chorus

And by the light of that same star
Three wise men came from a country far,
To seek for a king was their intent,
And to follow that star wherever it went.

Chorus

Then let us all with one accord
Sing praises to the heavenly Lord
Who hath made heaven and earth of naught
And with His blood mankind hath bought.
