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.

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 pause and stay,
Right over the place
Where Jesus lay.
Noel, Noel,
Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel.
