The First Noel Lyrics

Harry Secombe The First Noel

The First Noel, the Angels 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 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!

This star drew nigh to the northwest.
O'er Bethlehem it took its rest.
And there it did, both stop and stay.
Right o'er the place where Jesus lay.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel!

Then let us all with one accord.
Sing praises to our heavenly Lord.
That hath made Heaven and earth of nought.
And with his blood, mankind has bought.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel!
