The First Noel

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’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

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

Then let us all with one accord

Sing praises to our Heavenly Lord

That hath made Heaven and earth of nought

And with His blood mankind has bought

Noel Noel Noel Noel

Born in the King of Israel
