Lyrics

The First Nowell (Single Version)

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Noel, Noel
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
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
This 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
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel
Born Noel
