| The first Noel the angel did say Was to certain poor shepherds in fields where they lay; Where they lay, keeping their sheep, On a cold winter's night that was so deep. Noel, Noel, You’ve got to sing 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 a great light, And so it continued both day and night. Noel, Noel, You’ve got to sing Noel Born is the King of Israel. 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. This star drew nigh to the northwest, O'er Bethlehem it took it rest, And there it did both stop and stay Right over the place where Jesus lay. Noel, Noel, You’ve got to sing Noel Born is the King of Israel. |
