The First Noel
The First Noel
1. The first Noel the angel did sayWas to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay,In fields where they lay keeping their sheepOn a cold winter’s night that was so deep.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,Born is the King of Israel!
2. They looked up and saw a starShining 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!
