Maverick City Music's rendition of "The First Noel" featuring Majesty Rose is a contemporary take on the classic Christmas carol. The song retells the biblical story of the angels announcing Jesus' birth to shepherds in the fields, and the shepherds following the star to find the newborn King. The repeated refrain "Noel, Noel, Born is the King of Israel" emphasizes the joy and significance of Christ's arrival. This version brings a fresh, worshipful atmosphere to a familiar hymn, inviting listeners to celebrate the incarnation and reflect on the wonder of God coming to earth.

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
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel
Born is the King, born is the King
Born is the King of Israel
Born is the King, born is the King
Born is the King of Israel
Born is the King, born is the King
Born is the King of Israel
Born is the King, born is the King
Born is the King of Israel
