The First Noel (Natal Pertama)

The first Noel the an­gel did say

Was to cer­tain poor shep­herds

In fields as they lay;

In fields where they lay tend­ing their sheep,

On a cold win­ter’s night that was so deep

Noel, No­el, No­el, No­el,

Born is the King of Is­ra­el

They look­èd 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

Noel, No­el, No­el, No­el,

Born is the King of Is­ra­el

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

Noel, No­el, No­el, No­el,

Born is the King of Is­ra­el

This star drew nigh to the north­west,

Over Beth­le­hem it took its rest;

And there it did both stop and stay,

Right ov­er the place where Je­sus lay

Noel, No­el, No­el, No­el,

Born is the King of Is­ra­el

Then did they know as­sur­ed­ly

Within that house the King did lie;

One en­tered it them for to see,

And found the Babe in po­ver­ty

Noel, No­el, No­el, No­el,

Born is the King of Is­ra­el

Then en­tered in those wise men three,

Full rev­er­ent­ly up­on the knee,

And of­fered there, in His pre­sence,

Their gold and myrrh and frank­in­cense

Noel, No­el, No­el, No­el,

Born is the King of Is­ra­el

Between an ox stall and an ass,

This Child tru­ly there He was;

For want of cloth­ing they did Him lay

All in a man­ger, among the hay

Noel, No­el, No­el, No­el,

Born is the King of Is­ra­el

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

Noel, No­el, No­el, No­el,

Born is the King of Is­ra­el

If we in our time shall do well,

We shall be free from death and hell;

For God hath pre­pared for us all

A rest­ing place in ge­ne­ral

Noel, No­el, No­el, No­el,

Born is the King of Is­ra­el

Di hari Natal yang pertama, 

Gembala asyik menjaga domba

Malam dingin tiada cahya

Malaikat datang membawa warta

Noel, noel, noel, noel

Lahirlah Raja Israel

Bersinar sinar bintang cerlang

Kala gembala bangun memandang

Sluruh alam jadi terang

Khabar gembira telah datang

Noel, noel, noel, noel

Lahirlah Raja Israel

Dibimbing oleh sinar bintang

Tiga raja dari timur datang

Mengharapkan Raja Pencipta

Allah Putra yang lahir di kandang

Noel, noel, noel, noel

Lahirlah Raja Israel
