1 The first Noel, the angels did say, was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay, in fields as they lay, keeping their sheep on a cold winter's night that was so deep. 2 Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, born is the King of Israel. 3 They looked up and saw a star shining in the east beyond them far and to the earth it gave its light. 3 And so it continued both day and night, Noel, Noel, Noel, born is the King of Israel. 4 And it entered in those wise men three. 5 Forever and ever upon their knee and over their head in his presence their gold and myrrh and frankincense. 3 Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, born is the King of Israel.
