The First Noël

Noel, Noel

Noel, Noel

Born is the King of Israel

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 night

That was so deep.

Noel, Noel

Noel, Noel

Born is the King of Israel

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

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!
