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 In a cold winter's night that was so deep Noel, noel, noel, noel Born is the King of Israel And they offered there with deep reverence Their gold and myrrh and frankincense And there they all sang with one accord Their glorious praises to out Heavenly Lord Noel, noel, noel, noel Born is the King of Israel And by the light of a shining star Three wise men came from country far And the wise men three then stopped and stayed At the holy place where the sweet Jesus lay Noel, noel, noel, noel Born is the King of Israel
