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, Noel, noel, noel, noel, Born is the king of israel They looked up and saw a star Shining in the east beyond them afar 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 This star true light to the northwest Over bethlehem it took it's rest And there it did stop and stay Right over the place where jesus lay Noel, noel, noel, noel, Born is the king of israel Noel, noel, noel, noel, Born is the king of israel
