The First Noel
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
Oh a cold winter’s night that was so deep.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel!
Born is the King of Israel!
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.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel!
Born is the King of Israel!
3. Then let us all with one accord
Sing praises to our heav’nly Lord
The pains of sin and death he fought
And with his blood mankind hath bought.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel!
Born is the King! Praises we sing!
Born is the King of Israel!
Born is the King of Israel!
