[Chorus:] The first Noël 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:] 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
[Chorus:] This star drew nigh unto the northwest O'er Bethlehem it took its rest And there it did both stop and stay Right over the place where Jesus lay [Chorus:] Then let us all with one accord Sing praises to our heavenly Lord That hath made heaven and earth of naught And with his blood mankind hath bought
