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.
They looked up and saw a star
Shining in the east beyond them far:
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel.
And to the earth it gave great light
And so it continued both day and night.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
This star drew nigh to the north-west;
O'er Bethlehem it took it's rest,
And there it did both stop and stay,
Right over the place where Jesus lay.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
Born is the King,
Praise to the King,
Born is the King of Israel.
