Celestial Tale: The First Noel's Proclamation of Hope
Lyrics
Noel, Noel
Repetition of "Noel" as a joyful exclamation, often associated with Christmas.

-The First Noel, the Angels did say
Introduction of the narrative: The first Christmas announcement by Angels.
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay
Specifically directed to poor shepherds in the fields.
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep
Describes the setting - shepherds in the fields on a cold winter's night.
On a cold winter's night that was so deep
-Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Reiteration of the joyous exclamation, celebrating the birth of the King of Israel.
Born is the King of Israel!
-Noel, Noel
Continued expression of joy and celebration with "Noel."
Noel, Noel
-They looked up and saw a star
Shepherds observing a star in the East, a significant celestial event.
Shining in the East beyond them far
-And to the earth it gave great light
The star providing great light to the Earth both day and night, emphasizing its extraordinary nature.
And so it continued both day and night
-Noel, Noel
Repetition of "Noel" and the proclamation of the birth of the King of Israel.
Noel, Noel
-Noel, Noel
-Noel, Noel
-Noel, Noel
-Noel, Noel
-Born is the King of Israel!
Confirmation of the birth of the King of Israel, tying back to the earlier announcement.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Reiteration of the joyous proclamation of the birth of the King of Israel.
Born is the King of Israel!
-Born is the King of Israel!
-Noel, Noel
Final expression of joy with "Noel."
Noel, Noel
