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 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 wise men 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!
