The First Noel
--------------------------------------------------
		
The first Noel the angel 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
			
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
			
Bridge
Gloria! Gloria! Gloria in excelsis Deo
Gloria! Gloria! Gloria in excelsis Deo
			
This star drew nigh to the northwest
O'er Bethlehem it took its rest
And there it did both stop and stay
Right over the place where Jesus lay
			
End
Noel Noel Noel Noel
Born is the King of Israel
Noel Noel Noel Noel
Born is the King
Born is the King
Born is the King of Israel
