the first noel lyrics

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

They looked up
And saw a star
Shining bright 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
