The first Noël 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. Noël, Noël, Noël, Noël, Born is the King of Israel. They lookèd all 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. Noël, Noël, Noël, Noël, Born is the King of Israel.
