The First Noel

The First Noel - Elizabeth McGovern/Julian Ovenden

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

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

Noel Noel Noel Noel

Born is the King of Israel

And by the light of that same star

Three wise men came

From the country far;

To seek for a King was their intent

To follow the star wherever it went

Noel Noel Noel Noel

Born is the King of Israel

Then let us all with one accord

Sing praises to our heavenly Lord

That hath made Heaven and earth of nought

And with his blood mankind has bought

Noel Noel Noel Noel

Born is the King of Israel

Born is the King of Israel
