The First Noel, the Angel Did Say

Hymnal: Worship and Service Hymnal #34 (1957) Topics: Christ Birth of Refrain First Line: Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel Lyrics: 1 The first Noel, the angel did say, Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay; In fields where they lay keeping their sheep, On a cold winter's night that was so deep. Refrain: Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Born is the King of Israel. 2 They looked up and saw a star Shining in the east beyond them far, And to the earth it gave great light, And so it continued both day and night. (Refrain) 3 And by the light of that same star Three wise came from country far; To seek for a king was their intent, And to follow the star wherever it went. (Refrain) 4 This star drew nigh to the northwest, O'er Bethlehem it took its rest, And there it did both stop and stay, Right over the place where Jesus lay. (Refrain) 5 Then entered in those wise men three, Full rev'rently upon their knee, And offered there, in His presence Their gold, and myrrh, and frankincense. (Refrain) 6 Then let us all with one accord Sing praises to our heav'nly Lord, That hath made heav'n and earth of naught, And with His blood mankind hath bought. (Refrain) Languages: English Tune Title: THE FIRST NOEL

It Came Upon the Midnight Clear

Author: Edmund H. Sears, 1810-1876 Hymnal: Worship and Service Hymnal #35 (1957) Topics: Christ Birth of Lyrics: 1 It came upon the midnight clear, That glorious song of old, From angels bending near the earth To touch their harps of gold: "Peace on the earth, good-will to men, From heav'n's all-gracious King": The world in solemn stillness lay To hear the angels sing. 2 Still through the cloven skies they come, With peaceful wings unfurled, And still their heav'nly music floats O'er all the weary world: Above its sad and lonely plains They bend on hovering wing: And ever o'er its Babel sounds The blessed angels sing. 3 And ye, beneath life's crushing load, Whose forms are bending low, Who toil along the climbing way With painful steps and slow, Look now! for glad and golden hours Come swiftly on the wing: O rest beside the weary road, And hear the angels sing. 4 For lo, the days are hastening on, By prophet-bards foretold, When, with the ever-circling years, Comes round the age of gold: When peace shall over all the earth Its ancient splendors fling, And the whole world send back the song Which now the angels sing. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: CAROL
