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

[Chorus:]
Noel, Noel
Noel, Noel
Born is the king of Israel

When 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
