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
Then let us all with one accord
Sing praises to thy 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
Noel noel noel noel
Born is the king of israel
And the angels sing it was heavenly
And the angels sing it was heavenly
And the angels sing oh it was heavenly
And the angels sing oh it was heavenly oh
Glory glory
Glory in the highest
Glory glory
Glory in the highest
