The first No-well,   the angel did say
F      C/E     F    C         G   Am       G/B   C
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay;

They look - ed   up     and saw  a  star

This star drew nigh     to the  northwest:
F    C/E  F  C   G  Am   G/B  C
O’er Beth-le-hem it took its rest;
G7  C     Am  Gsus4 G Dm   Am   F   Csus4 C
And there it  did     both stop and stay,
F     C/E  F   C     G     Am   G/B C
Right over the place where Je - sus lay.
