Oh, Oh, Oh
Oh, Oh, Oh
The first Noel
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
Noel Noel
Noel Noel
Born is the King
Of Israel
Oh, Oh, Oh
Oh, Oh, Oh
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 our
Heavenly Lord
That hath made Heaven
And Earth of nought
And with His blood mankind
Hath bought
Sing
Praise
Noel Noel
Noel Noel
Born is the King
Of Israel
Noel Noel
Noel Noel
Born is the King
Born is the King
Born is the King
Of Israel
