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.

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel.
Born is the King of Israel.

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.

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel.
Born is the King of Israel.

This star drew nigh to the Northwest
Over Bethlehem it took its rest
And there it did both stop and stay
Right over the place where Jesus lay.

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel.
Born is the King of Israel.

Then entered in those wisemen three
Full reverently upon their knee
And offered there in His presence
Their gold and myrrh and frankincense.

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel.
Born is the King of Israel.
