Lyrics

The First Noel

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

Chorus:

Noel, noel

Noel, noel

Born is the king of israel

When 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

Chorus (2x)

(noel, noel)

Chorus (4x)
