The First Noel

The first noel, the angel did say
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields where they lay
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep
On a cold winters 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
And let us all with one accord
Sing praises to our heavenly lord
That hath made heaven and earth of nought
And with his blood mankind hath brought
Noel, noel, noel, noel
Born is the king of israel
