"The First Noel" lyrics

The first Noel, the angels did say
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay
In fields where they lay, they were keeping their sheep
On a cold winter's night that was so deep

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel

The shepherds looked up, and they saw a bright star
Shining there in the East, beyond them far
And to (and to) the darkened earth, it gave a great light
And so (and so) it continued through day and through night

Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel
