The First Noel

Well Christafari ‘pon the riddim
Don’t you know we’ve got to give them
The true message of Christmas, yeah
We wish you a Merry Christmas
It’s a Christmas miracle, Merry Christmas
Ho ho ho, Merry Christmas!

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

Well this one’s for my Lord
For the One who departed
From the heavens to the earth
He’s filled up my heart with so much love I got to chant it
Until everyone has heard
Well here come the kings with the gifts that they bring
Here come the kings with the gifts that they bring
Gold, frankincense, and myrrh a them bring
A me say give them to the King, to the King of all Kings

This star drew nigh
Straight to the northwest
Over Bethlehem
It took its rest

And there it did
Both stop and stay
Right over the place
Where Jesus lay

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

Well this one’s for my Lord
Christ Jesus me chanting
Him give me new birth
He’s filled up my heart
With so much Joy
I’ve got to shout it!
And go win some converts

Well this one’s for the King
For the King of all Kings
Give them to the King
For the King of all Kings
Gold, frankincense, and myrrh a them bring
A me say give them to the King, for the King of all Kings

Then let us all
With one accord
Sing praises to our
Heavenly Lord

That has made Heaven
And earth of naught
And with His blood
Mankind hath bought

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

The first Noel is a riddim
That had come straight from heaven
To the town of Bethlehem
You see the shepherds gather
When them hear about the Savior
And the birth of the Son of Man

So sound up the trumpets
The King of Kings is coming
Woe-eh, yes
Yes sound up the trumpets
A new day is dawning

Well this one isn’t 2nd hand or 3rd rate
For when received His grace
I had to give Him 1st place
In every single way

A 2nd act, a 2nd chance
A 2nd birth, I’m born again
And so I’m singing for the King now every single day

Noel, noel, noel, noel
Born is the King of Israel
Of Israel
Of Israel
Merry Christmas
