The First No-el, the angels did say
       Ab            Eb/G          Cm             Eb
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay
   Eb            Cm       Ab             Eb
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep
     Ab             Eb/G        Cm   Bb/D   Eb
On a cold winter's night that was  so    deep

Verse 2:

They looked up and saw a star
Shining in the east, beyond them far
And to the earth, it gave good light
And so it continued both day and night

Verse 3:

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

Verse 4:

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

Verse 5:

Then entered in those wise men three
Full rev'rently on bended knee
And offered there in His presence
Their gold and myrrh and frankincense

Verse 6:

Then let us all with one accord
Sing praises to our heavenly Lord
That hath made heaven and earth of nought
And with His blood mankind has bought
