Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
Noel, Noel
Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel
[Verse 3]
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 4]
Noel, Noel
Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel
[Verse 5]
And by the light of that same star
Three wise men came from country far
To seek for a king was their intent
And to follow the star wherever it went
[Verse 6]
Noel, Noel
Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel
[Verse 7]
This star drew night to the northwest
O'er Bethlehem it took its rest
And there it did both stop and stay
Right over the place where Jesus lay
[Verse 8]
Noel, Noel
Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel
[Verse 9]
Then let us all with one accord
Sing praises to our heavenly Lord
That hath made Heaven and Earth of naught
And with His blood mankind hath bought
[Verse 10]
Noel, Noel
Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel
