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 winters night, that was so deep Chorus: Noel, noel Noel, noel Born is the king of israel When 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 Chorus (2x) (noel, noel) Chorus (4x)
