Lyrics
Verse 1
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.
Verse 2
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.
Verse 3
And by the light of that same star
three wise men came from country far.
To seek for a king was their intent,
and to follow the star wherever it went.
Verse 4
The star drew nigh to the northwest,
o'er Bethlehem it took them rest,
and there it did both stop and stay,
right over the place where Jesus lay.
Chorus
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel. Born is the King of Israel.
