Lyrics

[Verse 1]

The first Noel

The angel did say

Was to certain poor shepherds

In fields as they lay

In fields as they

Lay keeping their sheep

On a cold winter's night

That was so deep

[Verse 2]

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel

Born is the King of Israel

[Verse 3]

They all looked up

And saw the star

Shining in the east

Beyond them, far

And to the earth

It gave great light

And so it continued

Both day and by night

[Verse 4]

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel

Born is the King of Israel

Noel, Noel

Born is the King of Israel

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel

[Verse 5]

Born is the King of Israel
