The First Noel
Divine Revelations: 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 announced to 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 night, the message was conveyed
Noel Noel Noel Noel
Repetition of "Noel" expressing joy and celebration
Born is the King of Israel
The King of Israel, Jesus, is born
They looked up and saw a star
The shepherds noticed a star in the East
Shining in the East beyond them far
Shining brightly and distant in the Eastern sky
And to the earth it gave great light
The star illuminated the earth with great light
And so it continued both day and night
This divine light persisted both day and night
Noel Noel Noel Noel
Repetition of "Noel" emphasizing the celebration
Born is the King of Israel
Reiteration of the birth of the King of Israel, Jesus
This star drew nigh to the northwest
The star approached the northwest direction
O'er Bethlehem it took it's rest
It rested over Bethlehem
And there it did both stop and stay
The star paused and lingered there
Right o'er the place where Jesus lay
Directly above the place where Jesus lay
Noel Noel Noel Noel
Repetition of "Noel" joyously declaring the birth
Born is the King of Israel!
Emphasizes the birth of the King of Israel, Jesus
