The First Noel

[Verse 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
On a cold winter's night that was so deep

[Chorus]
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel

[Verse 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

[Chorus]
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel

[Verse 3]
This star drew night to the northwest
Over Bethlehem it took its rest
And there it did both stop and stay
Right over the place where Jesus lay

[Chorus]
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel
