The First Noel

The first No?l 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 deepNo?l, No?l, No?l, No?l

Born is the King of IsraelThey look-ed 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 nightNo?l, No?l, No?l, No?l

Born is the King of IsraelThis star drew nigh unto the northwest

O'er Bethlehem it took its rest

And there it did both stop and stay

Right over the place where Jesus layNo?l, No?l, No?l, No?l

Born is the King of IsraelThen let us all with one accord

Sing praises to our heavenly Lord

That hath made heaven and earth of naught

And with his blood mankind hath bought
