The first noel the angels did say
Was to certain poor shepherds
In fields as they lay
In fields where they lay, they were keepin' their sheep
On a cold winter's 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 down in the east beyond them far
And to the (and to the) darken earth, it gave great light
And so (and so) it continued through day and through night

Noel, noel, noel
Born is the king of Israel
