The First Noél
The first Noel the angel did sayWas to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay,In fields where they lay tending their sheep,On a cold winter's night that was so deep.[Chorus]Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,Born is the King of Israel.They looked up and saw a starShining in the east, beyond them far,And to the earth it gave great light,And so it continued both day and night.[Chorus]And by the light of that same starThree Wise Men came from country far,To seek for a King was their intent,And to follow the star wherever it went.[Chorus]This star drew nigh to the northwest,Over Bethlehem it took its rest,And there it did both stop and stay,SongtexteRight over the place where Jesus lay.[Chorus]Then did they know assuredlyWithin that house the King did lie,One entered it them for to see,And found the Babe in poverty.[Chorus]Then entered in those Wise Men three,Full reverently upon the knee,And offered there, in His presence,Their gold and myrrh and frankincense.[Chorus]Between an ox stall and an ass,This Child truly there He was,For want of clothing they did Him layAll in a manger, among the hay.[Chorus]Then let us all with one accordSing praises to our heavenly Lord,That hath made Heaven and earth of naught,And with His blood mankind hath bought.[Chorus]If we in our time shall do well,We shall be free from death and hell,For God hath prepared for us allA resting place in general.[Chorus] Aus Songtexte Mania
