{comment: Verse 1}
The [C]first No[G]el the an[F]gel did [C]say,
Was to [F]certain poor [C]shepherds in [G]fields as they [C]lay.
In [C]fields where [G]they lay [F]keeping their [C]sheep,
On a [F]cold winters [C]night that [G]was so [C]deep.

{comment: Verse 2}
They [C]looked u[G]p and [F]saw a [C]star, 
Shining [F]in the [C]east beyo[G]nd them [C]far, 
And [C]to the [G]earth it g[F]ave great [C]light, 
And [F]so it con[C]tinued both [G]day and [C]night.

{comment: Verse 3}
And [C]by the [G]light of t[F]hat same [C]star, 
Three [F]wise men [C]came from [G]country [C]afar; 
To [C]seek for [G]a king [F]was their [C]intent, 
And to [F]follow the [C]star wher[G]ever it [C]went.

{comment: Verse 4}
This [C]star drew [G]nigh to [F]the north[C]west, 
O'er [F]Bethleh[C]em it [G]took its [C]rest; 
And [C]there it [G]did both [F]stop and [C]stay,
Right [F]over the [C]place where [G]Jesus [C]lay.

{start_of_chorus} 
No[C]el, No[G]el, No[F]el, No[C]el
B[F]orn is the [C]King of [G]Isra[C]el.
{end_of_chorus}

{comment: Verse 5}
Then [C]entered [G]in those [F]wise men [C]three,
Full [F]reveren[C]tly up[G]on their [C]knee,
And [C]offered [G]there in [F]His pres[C]ence,
Their [F]gold and [C]myrrh and [G]frankince[C]nse.

{comment: Verse 6}
Then [C]let us [G]all with [F]one acc[C]ord, 
Sing [F]praises to[C] our [G]heavenly L[C]ord; 
That hath [C]made hea[G]ven and e[F]arth of [C]naught, 
And [F]with his [C]blood man[G]kind hath [C]bought.
