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 lat was so deep. Chorus: Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Born is the King of Israel. They looked up and saw a star, Shinning in the East beyond them far; And to the earth it gave great light, And so it continued day and night. Chorus This star drew nigh to the northwest; O'er Bethlehem it took its rest, And there it did both stop and stay, Right o'er the place where Jesus lay. Chorus
