lyrics version 1
(The first noel the angel did say) The first noel the angel did say
(Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay) Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay
(In fields where they lay keeping watch o'er their sheep) In fields as they lay keeping watch o'er their sheep
(On a cold winter's morn that was so deep) On a cold winter's night, you know it was so deep
Ah ah
Noel, noel, noel, noel (Noel, noel, noel, noel)
Born is the king of Israel (Born is the king of Israel)
(And by the light of that same star) And by the light of that same great star
(Three wise men came from the country afar) Oh three wise men came looking from the country afar
(To seek the king was their intent) To seek for their king was their only intent
(To follow that star wherever it went) And to follow that bright star wherever it went
Noel, ah noel, I said noel, noel (Noel, noel, noel, noel)
(Born is the king of Israel) Oh born is the king of Israel
Oh noel
Now let us all with one accord
Sing praises, sing praises, sing praises to our heavenly lord
(Hath made the earth and heaven from nought) He hath made our heaven and our earth out of nought
(And with his blood all mankind has bought) And with his blood, with his holy blood all of mankind he has bought
(Noel, noel, noel, noel) Noel, noel, oh noel
(Born is the king of Israel) Born is the king of Israel
(Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay) Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay
(In fields where they lay keeping watch o'er their sheep) In fields as they lay keeping watch o'er their sheep
(On a cold winter's morn that was so deep) On a cold winter's night, you know it was so deep
Ah ah
Noel, noel, noel, noel (Noel, noel, noel, noel)
Born is the king of Israel (Born is the king of Israel)
(And by the light of that same star) And by the light of that same great star
(Three wise men came from the country afar) Oh three wise men came looking from the country afar
(To seek the king was their intent) To seek for their king was their only intent
(To follow that star wherever it went) And to follow that bright star wherever it went
Noel, ah noel, I said noel, noel (Noel, noel, noel, noel)
(Born is the king of Israel) Oh born is the king of Israel
Oh noel
Now let us all with one accord
Sing praises, sing praises, sing praises to our heavenly lord
(Hath made the earth and heaven from nought) He hath made our heaven and our earth out of nought
(And with his blood all mankind has bought) And with his blood, with his holy blood all of mankind he has bought
(Noel, noel, noel, noel) Noel, noel, oh noel
(Born is the king of Israel) Born is the king of Israel
