The first Noel the angels did say
Was to certain poor shepards in fields as they lay:
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep
On a cold winter's night that was so deep
The sorrow all around us
At last we'll be made right
The age of hopeless darkness
Will finally end tonight
Noel, o-o-o-oh, o-o-o-oh
Noel, o-o-o-oh, o-o-o-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
Our hopes and all our longings
Are met in tonight
Noel, o-o-o-oh, o-o-o-oh
Noel, o-o-o-oh, o-o-o-oh
Noel, o-o-o-oh, o-o-o-oh
Noel, o-o-o-oh, o-o-o-oh
Hallelujah
All the earth adores, singing
Emmanuel, God with us
Hallelujah
All the earth adores, singing
Emmanuel, God with us
Noel, o-o-o-oh, o-o-o-oh
Noel, o-o-o-oh, o-o-o-oh
