VERSE 1
The [|][C]first No[|][G]el the [|][F]angels did [|][C]say
Was to [|][F]certain poor [|][G]shepherds in [|][F]fields as they [|][C]lay.
In [|][C]fields where [|][G]they lay [|][F]keeping their [|][C]sheep
On a [|][F]cold winter's [|][G]night that was [|][F]so [|][C]deep.

VERSE 2
They [|][C]looked [|][G]up and [|][F]saw a [|][C]star
Shining [|][F]in the [|][G]east bey[|][F]ond them [|][C]far
And [|][C]to the [|][G]earth it [|][F]gave great [|][C]light
And [|][F]so it con[|][G]tinued both [|][F]day and [|][C]night.

And [|][C]by the [|][G]light of [|][F]that same [|][C]star
Three [|][F]wise men [|][G]came from [|][F]countries [|][C]far;
To [|][C]seek for a [|][G]King was [|][F]their in[|][C]tent,
And to [|][F]follow the [|][G]star wher[|][F]ever it [|][C]went.

This [|][C]star [|][G]drew nigh [|][F]to the north [|][C]west
O'er [|][F]Bethle[|][G]hem it [|][F]took it's [|][C]rest,
And [|][C]there it [|][G]did both [|][F]pause and [|][C]stay,
Right [|][F]over the [|][G]place where [|][F]Jesus [|][C]lay.

Then [|][C]entered [|][G]in those [|][F]wise men [|][C]three,
Fell [|][F]reverently [|][G]upon their [|][F]knee [|][C]
And [|][C]offered [|][G]there  in His [|][F]pre[|][C]sence
Their [|][F]gold and [|][G]myrrh and [|][F]frankin[|][C]cense.

Then [|][C]let us [|][G]all with [|][F]one  a[|][C]ccord
Sing [|][F]praises [|][G]to our [|][F]heavenly [|][C]Lord,
That [|][C]hath [|][G]made heaven and [|][F]earth of [|][C]nought,
And [|][F]with his [|][G]blood [|][F]mankind has [|][C]bought.
