Noel
Divine Revelation: Unveiling the Sacred Story in Le'Andria Johnson's 'Noel'
Lyrics
The First Noel, the Angels did say
The Angels proclaimed the first Christmas, announcing the birth of Jesus.
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay
The message was initially conveyed to shepherds in the fields.
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep
Shepherds were watching over their flock in the fields.
On a cold winter's night that was so deep.
This happened on a profoundly cold and wintry night.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Repeated joyful proclamation of "Noel," a term associated with Christmas.
Born is the King of Israel!
Celebrating the birth of Jesus, recognized as the King of Israel.
They looked up and saw a star
The shepherds observed a star in the East, at a considerable distance.
Shining in the East beyond them far
The star provided significant illumination.
And to the earth it gave great light
The light from the star continued both day and night.
And so it continued both day and night.
Emphasizing the continuous brilliance of the star.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Repetition of the joyful proclamation.
Born is the King of Israel!
Restating the birth of Jesus, the King of Israel.
And by the light of that same star
The Wise Men followed the same star.
Three Wise men came from country far
Three Wise Men journeyed from a distant land.
To seek for a King was their intent
Their purpose was to find and pay homage to the newborn King.
And to follow the star wherever it went.
They were committed to following the guidance of the star.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Reiteration of the joyful proclamation.
Born is the King of Israel!
Affirming the birth of Jesus as the King of Israel.
This star drew nigh to the northwest
The star descended over Bethlehem in the northwest direction.
O'er Bethlehem it took its rest
The star came to a rest over Bethlehem.
And there it did both Pause and stay
The star paused directly above the place where Jesus was.
Right o'er the place where Jesus lay.
Confirming the location of Jesus' birth.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Repeating the joyful proclamation.
Born is the King of Israel!
Affirming the birth of Jesus, the King of Israel.
Then entered in those Wise men three
The Wise Men entered, showing deep respect by kneeling.
Full reverently upon their knee
The Wise Men presented gifts (gold, myrrh, and frankincense) in the presence of Jesus.
And offered there in His presence
They offered their gifts reverently.
Their gold and myrrh and frankincense.
Describing the valuable gifts offered to Jesus.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Reiteration of the joyful proclamation.
Born is the King of Israel!
Affirming the birth of Jesus, the King of Israel.
Then let us all with one accord
A call for everyone to join in praising the Lord.
Sing praises to our heavenly Lord
Expressing gratitude for the creation by the heavenly Lord.
That hath made Heaven and earth of nought
Acknowledging the divine act of creating Heaven and Earth.
And with his blood mankind has bought.
Highlighting the significance of Jesus' sacrifice for humanity.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Repetition of the joyful proclamation.
Born is the King of Israel!
Affirming the birth of Jesus, the King of Israel.
