Lyrics

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

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel

Born is the king of Israel

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

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel

Born is the king of Israel

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel

Ooh-ooh

Born is the king of Israel

Israel

Oh-oh

(Ooh-ooh)

Born is the king

(Born is the king of)

Israel

(Israel, Israel, Israel)

Israel

Born is the

(Born is the king)

(Born is the king)

(Ha)

(Born is the king)

(Born is the king)

(Ha)

(Born is the king)

(Born is the king)

Alright these gifts we bring

To the king of

(Israel, Israel)

King of king

The first noel

The angels did say

Born is the

(Born is the king)

(Born is the king)

(Born is the king)

(Born is the king)

(Born is the king)

(Born is the king)

(Of Israel)
