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.
