The First Noel (Born Is the King)

[Verse 1]
The first Noel, earth and heaven embraced
As a virgin beheld her new born babe
From realms on high to a manger on earth
Salvation had dawned in a lowly birth

[Chorus]
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel

[Verse 2]
The Son of God, in kindness He came
As a friend to the hopeless, the lost, and the lame
Our sins He bore yet His name we despised
And the hands that brought healing wеre pierced as Hе died

[Verse 3]
The Author of Life, there lifeless He lay
As the grave cast its shadow and darkness reigned
Then out of death broke forth a great light
As He rose up in victory, the glorious Christ

[Tag]
Now let us all with one accord
Bring praises to our King
All glory, power, and honor be
Forever unto Him
