Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Noel, noel, noel
Born is the King of Israel
[Verse 2]
The first noel, the angel 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
[Verse 3]
Noel, noel, noel, noel
Born is the King of Israel
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
Noel, noel, noel, noel
Born is the King of Israel
Written by: Edith Bergdahl, Nat "King" Cole
