The First Noel

Noel, Noel
Noel, Noel
Born is the King of IsraelThe first Noel the angel did say
Was to certain poor shepherds
In fields as they layIn fields where they
Lay keeping their sheep
On a cold winter night
That was so deepNoel, Noel
Noel, Noel
Born is the King of IsraelThey 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 nightNoel, Noel
Noel, Noel
Born is the King of IsraelThis star drew nigh to the northwest
Over Bethlehem it took its rest
And there it did both stop and stay
Right over the place where Jesus layNoel, Noel
Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel
