The f[D]irst No[A]el t[G]he [D]angels [G]did [D]say

The looked up and saw a star
Shining in the East beyond them far
And to the earth in gave great light
And so it continued both day and night
{c:Refrain}
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
{c:Refrain}
This star drew nigh to the northwest
O'er Bethlelem it took its rest
And there it did both stop and stay
Right over the place where Jesus lay
{c:Refrain}
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
{c:Refrain}
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
