The First Noel Lyrics - The New York Room

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 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 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 

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 pause and stay 

right over the place where Jesus lay 

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel 

born is the king of Israel
