The First Noel
Embracing Light: The Timeless Tale of The First Noel
Lyrics
The first Noel, the angel did say
The angel announced the first Noel.
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields where they lay
The message was delivered to specific poor shepherds in their fields.
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep
The shepherds were in fields, tending to their sheep.
On a cold winter's night that was so deep
This event occurred on a cold, deep winter's night.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Repetition of the proclamation of Noel.
Born is the king of Israel
Celebrating the birth of the King of Israel.
They looked up and saw a star
The shepherds observed a star in the east.
Shining in the east beyond them far
The star was shining far beyond them.
And to the earth it gave great light
The star provided great light to the earth.
And so it continued both day and night
This illumination continued both day and night.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Repetition of the celebration of Noel.
Born is the king of Israel
Emphasizing the birth of the King of Israel.
And let us all with one accord
A call for everyone to join in praise.
Sing praises to our heavenly Lord
Singing praises to the heavenly Lord.
That hath made heaven and earth of naught
Acknowledging the Lord as the creator of heaven and earth.
And with his blood mankind hath brought
Recognizing the sacrifice of the Lord's blood for mankind.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Repetition of the joyful proclamation of Noel.
Born is the king of Israel
Reiterating the birth of the King of Israel.
