Now with joy is ringing.

Soft and sweet,
Doth entreat,
"Flee from woe and danger;
Brethren, come; from all that grieves you
You are freed;
All you need
I will surely give you."
3 Come, then, let us hasten yonder;
Here let all,
Great and small,
Kneel in awe and wonder,
Love Him who with love is yearning;
Hail the Star
That from far
Bright with hope is burning.

To human view displayed,
All meanly wrapped in swathing bands,
And in a manger laid;

And to the earth be peace;
Good will henceforth from heaven to men
Begin and never cease,
Begin and never cease."

The First Noel, the Angel Did Say
Appears in 434 hymnals Topics: Christ Birth of; Jesus Christ the Savior Christmas 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) Used With Tune: THE FIRST NOEL Text Sources: Old English Carol, 1833

when thou camest to earth for me;
but in Bethlehem's home was there found no room
for thy holy nativity.
Refrain:
O come to my heart, Lord Jesus,
there is room in my heart for thee.
2 Heaven's arches rang when the angels sang,
proclaiming thy royal degree;
but in lowly birth thou didst come to earth,
and in great humility: (Refrain)
3 The foxes found rest and the birds their nest
in the shade of the forest tree;
but thy couch was the sod, O thou Son of God,
in the desert of Galilee: (Refrain)
4 Thou camest, O Lord, with the living Word
that should set thy people free;
but with mocking scorn, and with crown of thorn,
they bore thee to Calvary: (Refrain)
5 When the heavens shall ring, and the angels sing,
at thy coming to victory,
let thy voice call me home, saying, "Yet there is room,
there is room at my side for thee."
My heart shall rejoice, Lord Jesus,
when thou comest and callest for me!

ere the worlds began to be,
he is Alpha and Omega,
he the Source, the Ending he,
of the things that are, that have been,
and that future years shall see,
evermore and evermore!
2 O that birth forever blessed,
when the Virgin, full of grace,
by the Holy Ghost conceiving,
bore the Savior of our race;
and the babe, the world's Redeemer,
first revealed his sacred face,
evermore and evermore!
3 This is he whom heav'n-taught singers
sang of old with one accord,
whom the Scriptures of the prophets
promised in their faithful word;
now he shines, the long-expected;
let creation praise its Lord,
evermore and evermore!
4 O ye heights of heav'n, adore him;
angel hosts, his praises sing;
all dominions, bow before him,
and extol our God and King;
let no tongue on earth be silent,
ev'ry voice in concert ring,
evermore and evermore!
5 Christ, to thee, with God the Father,
and, O Holy Ghost, to thee,
hymn, and chant, and high thanksgiving,
and unwearied praises be,
honor, glory, and dominion,
and eternal victory,
evermore and evermore!
