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!
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!
All glory to the newborn King
The promised prophesied messiah redeemer is he
Born that night in a manger a miracle birth
Son of God yet son of man sent to save all the earth
Angels sent to tell shepherds in the night
Wise men coming from afar following the light
All pointing to the star shining bright all leading to Emmanuel
Now with us our saviour King Noel
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
(Noel, Noel)
Born is the King of Israel!
(Born is the King, He's the King of Kings, He's the King of Kings)
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
(Aha aha, come on)
Born is the King of Israel!
(Born is the King)
Born is the King of Israel
