The First Noel
Traditional
[Chorus:]
The first Noël the angel 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
[Chorus:]
Noël, Noël, Noël, Noël!
Born is the King of Israel
They look-ed 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:]
This star drew nigh unto the northwest
O'er Bethlehem it took its rest
And there it did both stop and stay
Right over the place where Jesus lay
[Chorus:]
Then let us all with one accord
Sing praises to our heavenly Lord
That hath made heaven and earth of naught
And with his blood mankind hath bought
