Overture/The First Noel

The first Noel the angels did say

Was to certain poor shepherds

In fields as they lay,

In fields where 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!
