Lyrics

The First Noel

[Intro]

(Noel, noel, noel, noel)

(Noel, noel)

[Verse 1]

The first Noel, the angels did say

Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay

In fields where they lay a-keeping their sheep

On a cold winter's night that was so deep

[Refrain]

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel

Born is the King of Israel

[Verse 2]

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

[Refrain]

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel

Born is the King of Israel

[Verse 3]

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

[Refrain]

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel

Born is the King of Israel

[Outro]

Ah Noel
