The First Noel

The first Noel the angels did say

Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay

In fields as they lay keeping their sheep

On a cold winter's 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

O'er 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

The first Noel the angels did say

Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay

In fields as they lay keeping their sheep

On a cold winter's night that was so deep

Noel, noel

Noel, noel

Born is the King of Israel

Noel, noel

Noel, noel

Born is the King of Israel
