The First Noel lyrics

The first Noel, the angel did say

Was to certain poor shepherds in fields where 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...

And 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 wheresoever it went

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel

Born is the King of Israel...

This star drew nigh to the north-west,

Over Bethlehem it took its rest

And there it did both stop and stay

Right over the place where Jesus lay

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel

Born is the King of Israel...
