The first Noel, the ancients 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. Noel! Noel! Noel! Noel! Born is the King of Israel! They looked up and saw a star, Shining in the east beyond them so far. And to the earth it gave great light, And so it continued both day and night. Noel! Noel! Noel! Noel! Born is the King of Israel! Noel! Noel! Noel! Noel! Noel! Noel! Noel!
