First Noël

So many times in my life, I think back on the days of my childhood Now they were some very special times But none were ever as special as the memories of Christmas In the Smokey Mountains Well, I could close my eyes right now And I can still see that lil' ol' country church Just full of neighbours, and family, and friends I may still hear that country preacher Talkin' about the birth of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ And I remember how I used to love all those great old Christmas songs (Can all stand and turn to page 383) (The song is "First Noel") The first Noël, the angel did say Was to certain poor shepherds in fields where they lay In fields where they lay, they're keeping their sheep On a cold winter's night that was so deep Noël, Noël, Noël, Noël Born is the King of Israel Noël, Noël The first Noël, 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 Noël, Noël, Noël, Noël Born is the King of Israel For all to see, there was a bright star Shining in the east beyond them far And to the earth, it gave great light And so it continued both day and night Noël, Noël, Noël, Noël Born is the King of Israel Noël, Noël, Noël, Noël Born is the King of Israel
