Lyrics

[Verse 1]

The first Noel the angel did say

Was to certain poor shepherds in the fields as they lay

In fields where they lay keeping their sheep

On a cold winter's night that was so deep

[Verse 2]

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel

Born is the King of Israel

[Verse 3]

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

[Verse 4]

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel

Born is the King of Israel

[Verse 5]

This star drew nigh to the Northwest

Over Bethlehem it took it's rest

And there it did both stop and stay

Right over the place where Jesus lay

[Verse 6]

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel

Born is the King of Israel
