The first Noel the angel did say
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay
In fields as 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 kept on both day and night

And by the light of that same star
Few wise men came from country far
To seek for a King who was there intend
And to follow their star wherever that he went
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel

Their star drew near to the northwest
Over Bethlehem it took its rest
And there it did both stop and stay
Right over the place where Jesus lay

Then entered in the wise men three
Full reverent upon their knee
And offered there in His presence
Their gold and myrrh, their frankincense
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel

Then let us all with one accord
Sing praises to our heavenly Lord
That has made Heaven and earth of nought
And with his blood mankind has bought
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel
Born is the King of Israel
