Traditional English Carol, words; 18th cent, music; 17th cent.
In 3/4 time, a lively waltz
[C]... The [Am]first No-[G]el the [F]angel did [C]say,
Was to [F]certain poor [C]shepherds in [F]fields as [G7]they [C]lay;
In [Am]fields where [G]they lay [F]keeping their [C]sheep
On a [F]cold winters [C]night that [F]was [G7]so-- [C]deep
. . . . Refrain . . . . .
No-[C]el, No-[Em]el, No-[F]el, No-[C]el [G]
[F]Born is the [C]King of [F]Is-[G7]ra--[C]el.
They [Am]look-ed [G]up and [F]saw a [C]star,
Shining [F]in the [C]East, be-[F]yond [G7]them [C]far;
[C]And [Am]to the [G]earth it [F]gave good [C]light;
And [F]so it con-[C]tinued both [F]day [G7]and [C]night.
. . . . Refrain . . . .
[C]And [Am]by the [G]light of [F]that same [C]star
three [F]wise men [C]came from [F]contry [G7]a--[C]far;
[C]to [Am]seek for a [G]king was [F]their in-[C]tent,
and to [F]follow the [C]star wher-[F]ever [G7]it-- [C]went
. . . . Refrain . . . .
[C]This [Am]star drew [G]nigh to [F]the North [C]West,
O'er [F]Bethle-[C]hem it [F]took [G7]its- [C]rest,
[C]And [Am]there it [G]did [F]stop and [C]stay,
Right [F]over the [C]place where [F]Je--[G7]sus [C]lay.
. . . . Refrain . . . .
Then [Am]entered [G]in there [F]Wise Men [C]three
Full [F]rever-[C]ently on [F]bend-[G7-]ed [C]knee,
[C]And [Am]offered [G]there in [F]His pre-[C]sence
Their [F]gold and [C]myrrh and [F]frank[G7]--in-[C]cense.
. . . . Refrain . . . .
