The First Noel

The first No?l the angel 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

No?l, No?l, No?l, No?l
Born is the King of Israel

They look-ed 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

No?l, No?l, No?l, No?l
Born is the King of Israel

This star drew nigh unto the northwest
O'er Bethlehem it took its rest
And there it did both stop and stay
Right over the place where Jesus lay

No?l, No?l, No?l, No?l
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 naught
And with his blood mankind hath bought
