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 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      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
