The First Noel

(album: Sing Noël - 2017)

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, 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
The Wise Men came from country far
To seek a King was their intent
And to follow the star wherever it went

The star drew nigh to the northwest
O'er Bethlehem it took its rest
And there it did both stop and stay
Right over the place where Jesus lay

So then let us all, with one accord
Sing praises to our heavenly Lord
That hath made Heav'n and Earth of naught
And with His blood, mankind hath bought

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King
Born is the King
Born is the King of Israel
