The First Noel

00:00

The first Noel! the angels did say TTT ^*1
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay; TTT ^*2
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep, TTT ^*3
On a cold winter's night that was so deep. TTT ^*4

Noel! Noel! Noel! Noel! TTT ^*5
Born is the King of Israel! TTT ^*6

They looked up and saw a star TTT ^*7
Shining in the east, beyond them far; TTT ^*8
And to the earth it gave great light; TTT ^*9
And so it continued both day and night. TTT ^*10

And by the light of that same star TTT ^*11
Three wise men came from country far; TTT ^*12
To seek for a King was their intent, TTT ^*13
And to follow the star wherever it went. TTT ^*14

Then let us all with one accord TTT ^*15
Sing praises to our heavenly Lord TTT ^*16
Who hath made heaven and earth of nought, TTT ^*17
And with His blood all mankind hath bought. TTT ^*18
