Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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 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]
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 6]
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel
[Verse 7]
Then entered in there wise men three
Full reverently upon their knee
And offered there in His presence
Their gold and myrrh and frankincense
[Verse 8]
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel
