The first noel the angel 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.

Refrain:
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 liight,
And so it continued both day and night.

Refrain

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.
