The First Noel
A Heavenly Proclamation: The First Noel's Message of Light and Redemption
Lyrics
The First Noel the angel did say
The angel announced the first Noel
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay
Specifically to poor shepherds in fields
In fields as they lay keeping their sheep
These shepherds were in the fields, tending 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 "Noel" and proclaiming the birth of the King of Israel
Born is the King of Israel
As they looked up and saw a star
The shepherds saw a star in the east
Shining in the east beyond them far
Shining far beyond them
And to the earth it gave great light
The star illuminated the earth, providing great light
And so it continued both day and night
This continued both day and night
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Repetition of "Noel" and the proclamation of the King's birth
Born is the King of Israel
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
-Born is the King of Israel
-Then entered in those wise men three
Three wise men enter reverently, kneeling
Full reverently upon their knee
They present gold, myrrh, and frankincense in His presence
And offered there in His presence
Their gold, and myrrh, and frankincense
-Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Repetition of "Noel" and the announcement of the King's birth
Born is the King of Israel
Then let us all with one accord
Encouragement for all to sing praises to the heavenly Lord
Sing praises to our heavenly Lord
The Lord who created heaven and earth out of nothing
That hath made heaven and earth of naught
With His blood mankind hath bought
Mankind is redeemed through His blood
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Repetition of "Noel" and the announcement of the King's birth
Born is the King of Israel
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
-Born is the King
Reiteration of the birth of the King of Israel
Born is the King of Israel
