The first Noel the angel did say
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay;
In fields where they lay they were keeping their sheep,
On a cold winters 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 in the east, beyond them far;
And to the earth it gave a great light,
And so it continued through day and through night.

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
Born is the King of Israel.
