Lyrics The First Nowell - Traditional feat. Francis Grier, Choir of King's College, Cambridge & Philip Ledger
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!
And
by
the
light
of
that
same
star
Three
Wise
men
came
from
country
far
To
seek
for
a
King
was
their
intent
And
to
follow
the
star
wherever
it
went.
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
Pause
and
stay
Right
o′er
the
place
where
Jesus
lay.
Noel,
Noel,
Noel,
Noel
Born
is
the
King
of
Israel!
Then
entered
in
those
Wise
men
three
Full
reverently
upon
their
knee
And
offered
there
in
His
presence
Their
gold
and
myrrh
and
frankincense.
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!
