First Noel
Embracing Hope: The Meaning Behind 'First Noel' by Scotty McCreery
Lyrics
The first Noel the angel did say
The angel proclaimed the first Noel
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay
Addressed to shepherds in fields
In fields where they lay a keeping their sheep
Describes the shepherds in fields with their sheep
On a cold winter's night that was so deep
Occurred on a cold winter's night
Noel Noel Noel Noel
Repetition of Noel, emphasizing the joyous proclamation
Born is the King of Israel
Celebrating the birth of the King of Israel
They looked up and saw a star
Shepherds notice a star in the east
Shining in the east beyond them far
The star is shining brightly in the distance
And to the earth it gave great light
The star provides great light to the earth
And so it continued both day and night
The light continues both day and night
Noel Noel Noel Noel
Repetition of Noel, reinforcing the joyous message
Born is the King of Israel
Restating 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
That hath made heaven and earth of nought
Acknowledging the Lord's creation of heaven and earth
And with his blood mankind has bought
Highlighting that mankind is redeemed by the Lord's blood
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Repetition of Noel, emphasizing the significance of the moment
Born is the King of Israel
Reaffirming the birth of the King of Israel
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Repeating Noel, expressing continued joy and celebration
Born is the King
Reiterating the birth of the King
Born is the King of Israel
Emphasizing the King's identity as the King of Israel
