The First Noel Lyrics

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,
noel, noel, noel, noel,
born is the king of israel
they looked up and saw a star
shining in the east beyond them afar
and to the earth it gave great light
and so it continued both day and night
noel, noel, noel, noel,
born is the king of israel
this star true light to the northwest
over bethlehem it took it's rest
and there it did stop and stay
right over the place where jesus lay
noel, noel, noel, noel,
born is the king of israel

noel, noel, noel, noel,
born is the king of israel
