Traditional
The First Noël
The first Noël, 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
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
Noël, Noël, Noël, Noël;
Born is the King of Israel
And, by the light of that same star
Three wise men came from country far
To seek for a King was their intent
And to follow the star wherever it went
Noël, Noël, Noël, Noël;
Born is the King of Israеl
This star drew nigh to the northwest
Ovеr Bethlehem it took its rest
And there it did both stop and stay
Right over the place where Jesus lay
Noël, Noël, Noël, Noël
Born is the King of Israel
Then let us all with one accord
Sing praises to our heav'nly Lord;
That hath made heav'n and earth of nought
And with His blood mankind hath bought
Noël, Noël, Noël, Noël
Born is the King of Israel
Noël, Noël, Noël, Noël
Born is the King of Israel
