Lyrics

[Verse 1]

The first Noël the angels did say

Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay

In fields where they lay keepin' their sheep

On a cold winter's night that was so deep

[Verse 2]

Noël, Noël

Noël, Noël

Born is the King of Israel

[Verse 3]

The shepherds looked on and they saw a bright star

Shining there in the East, beyond them far

And to the darkened earth, it gave all great light

And so it continued through day and through night

[Verse 4]

Noël, Noël

Noël, Noël

Born is the King of Israel
