[MARLEY]
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
[MARLEY with NEW DIRECTIONS Harmonizing]
Noel Noel Noel Noel
[MARLEY with NEW DIRECTIONS]
Born is the King of Israel
[MARLEY with NEW DIRECTIONS Harmonizing]
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
