It Came Upon A Midnight Clear / The First Noel Lyrics

It came upon the midnight clear
That glorious song of old
From angels playing near the Earth
To touch their harps of gold
Peace on the Earth could will to men
From heavens all-gracious King
The world in solemn stillness lay
To hear the angels sing
And I hear them singing
Sing, I do hear them singing
The first noel the angel did say
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay
In fields where they lay, lay keeping their sheep
On a cold winters night that was so deep
Noel, noel, noel, noel
Born is the King of Israel
Noel, noel, noel, noel
Born is the King of Israel

They looked up and saw a star
Shining in the east beyond them far
Noel, noel, noel, noel
Born is the King
Say born is the King
Born is the King of Israel
