The first noel the angels did say Was to certain poor shepherds In fields as they lay In fields where they lay, they were keepin' their sheep On a cold winter's night that was so deep Noel, noel, noel, noel Born is the king of Israel The shepherds looked up and they saw a bright star Shining down in the east beyond them far And to the (and to the) darken earth, it gave great light And so (and so) it continued through day and through night Noel, noel, noel Born is the king of Israel
