Lyrics Nat King Cole

Nat King Cole

The First Noel

The First Noel

The angels did say

Was to certain

Poor shepherds

In fields as they lay

In fields where they may

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

Then entered

In those Wise men three

Full reverently

Upon their knee

And offered there

In His presence

Their gold and myrrh

And frankincense

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel

Born

Is the King of Israel

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel

Born

Is the King of Israel
