The First Noel
Embracing Divine Light: The First Noel Unveiled
Lyrics
The First Noel, the Angels did say
The Angels proclaimed the first Christmas, saying
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay
It was revealed to specific poor shepherds in their fields
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep
These shepherds were in fields, tending to their sheep
On a cold winter's night that was so deep.
On a cold, deep winter's night
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Repetition of the word "Noel," meaning Christmas joy
Born is the King of Israel!
Announcing the birth of the King of Israel (Jesus)
They looked up and saw a star
Shepherds noticed a star shining in the East
Shining in the East beyond them far
It was far in the distance
And to the earth it gave great light
The star provided great light to the earth
And so it continued both day and night.
This continued both day and night
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Repetition of the word "Noel" to celebrate the birth
Born is the King of Israel!
Reiteration of Jesus being born, the King of Israel
And by the light of that same star
The Wise Men followed the same star's light
Three Wise men came from country far
Three Wise Men came from a distant country
To seek for a King was their intent
They aimed to find and honor a King
And to follow the star wherever it went.
They followed the star's direction
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Repetition of the word "Noel" to express joy
Born is the King of Israel!
Highlighting the birth of the King of Israel
This star drew nigh to the northwest
The star moved towards the northwest
O'er Bethlehem it took its rest
It rested over Bethlehem
And there it did both Pause and stay
The star paused and stayed there
Right o'er the place where Jesus lay.
Directly above the place where Jesus lay
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Repetition of the word "Noel" in celebration
Born is the King of Israel!
Underlining the birth of the King of Israel
Then entered in those Wise men three
The Wise Men entered and approached reverently
Full reverently upon their knee
They knelt down in respect
And offered there in His presence
Presenting their gifts in the presence of Jesus
Their gold and myrrh and frankincense.
Gifts included gold, myrrh, and frankincense
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Repetition of the word "Noel" to express joy
Born is the King of Israel!
Reaffirming the birth of the King of Israel
Then let us all with one accord
Encouraging everyone to sing praises together
Sing praises to our heavenly Lord
Praising the heavenly Lord who created all
That hath made Heaven and earth of nought
Acknowledging the creation of Heaven and Earth
And with his blood mankind has bought.
Recognizing the sacrifice of Jesus for mankind
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Repetition of the word "Noel" to express joy
Born is the King of Israel!
Celebrating the birth of the King of Israel
