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. And by the light of that same star, Three wise men came From country far; To seek for a King Was their intent, And to follow the star wherever it went. Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Born is the King, Born is the King of Israel.
