The First Noël

Noël, noël, noël, noël
 Born is the King of Israel
 The first noël, 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 night that was so deep
 Noël, noël, noël, noël
 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
 Noël, noël, noël, noël
 Born is the King of Israel
 This 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
 Noël, noël, noël, noël
 Born is the King of Israel
