Sandy's Christmas Carols ARRANGEMENT: John Stainer WORDS: Traditional English Carol KEY: C Major (Originally in D major) INTRO: Added LYRICS: Stanza 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. Stanza 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. Stanza 3: And by the light of that same star The wise Men came from country far; To seek for a King was their intent, And to follow the star wherever it went. Stanza 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. Chorus: Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Born is the King of Israel. SCRIPTURE & THEMES: (1) Luke 2:8-14 (KJV) And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men." Angelic proclamation of the birth of Jesus, bringing good tidings of great joy and peace on earth. (2) Matthew 2:1-2 (KJV) "Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him." The visit of the wise men following the star to worship the newborn King. (3) Isaiah 9:6 (KJV) "For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace." The prophecy of the Messiah, the child born to bring light and peace. Copyright ©2023 Hymns2Go. All Rights Reserved.
