The First Noel
Meter: Irregular Appears in 399 hymnals Topics: Jesus Our Savior : His Birth First Line: The first Noel, the angel did say 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 men 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: Traditional English carol

God Has Spoken by His Prophets
Author: George W. Briggs Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 52 hymnals Topics: Christ Birth Lyrics: 1 God has spoken by His prophets,
Spoken His unchanging Word,
Each from age to age proclaiming
God, the one, the righteous Lord.
In the world's despair and turmoil
One firm anchor holds us fast:
God is King, His throne eternal,
God the First and God the Last.
2 God has spoken by Christ Jesus,
Christ the everlasting Son,
Brightness of the Father's glory,
With the Father ever one;
Spoken by the Word incarnate,
God of God, ere time was born;
Light of Light, to earth descending,
Christ as God in human form.
3 God is speaking by His Spirit,
Speaking to our hearts again;
In the ageless Word expounding
God's own message, now as then.
Thro' the rise and fall of nations
One sure faith yet standing fast:
God abides, His Word unchanging,
God the First and God the Last. Used With Tune: BEECHER

Follow the shepherds, and draw near
To see this wondrous gift of God,
Who hath His only Son bestowed.

On Christmas Night All Christians Sing
Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 48 hymnals Topics: Jesus Christ Birth Lyrics: 1 On Christmas night all Christians sing,
to hear the news the angels bring;
on Christmas night all Christians sing,
to hear the news the angels bring,
news of great joy, news of great mirth,
news of our merciful King’s birth.
2 Then why should we on earth be sad,
since our Redeemer made us glad;
then why should we on earth be sad,
since our Redeemer made us glad,
when from our sin he set us free,
all for to gain our liberty?
3 When sin departs before his grace,
then life and health come in its place;
when sin departs before his grace,
then life and health comes in its place;
heaven and earth with joy may sing,
all for to see the newborn King.
4 All out of darkness we have light,
which made the angels sing this night;
all out of darkness we have light,
which made the angels sing this night:
"Glory to God in highest heaven;
peace on earth and goodwill. Amen!"
Scripture: Isaiah 9:2 Used With Tune: SUSSEX CAROL Text Sources: English carol
