The First Nowell
Divine Revelations: The First Nowell Unveiled
Lyrics
The first Noël, the angel did say
The angel proclaimed the first Christmas message, known as "Noël."
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay
The message was initially delivered to certain impoverished shepherds resting in fields.
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep
These shepherds were tending to their sheep in those fields.
On a cold winter's night that was so deep
The setting was a cold and profoundly dark winter night.
Noël, Noël, Noël, Noël
Repeated proclamation of the message "Noël."
Born is the King of Israel
Emphasizes the birth of the King of Israel.
They looked up and saw a star
The shepherds observed a star in the eastern sky.
Shining in the East beyond them far
The star shone brightly, positioned at a considerable distance in the East.
And to the earth it gave great light
This star illuminated the earth, providing significant light.
And so it continued both day and night
The brightness of the star persisted both day and night.
Noël, Noël, Noël, Noël
Repetition of the proclamation "Noël."
Born is the King of Israel
Reiteration of the birth of the King of Israel.
And by the light of that same star
The same star guided three Wise Men from a distant country.
Three Wise men came from country far
These Wise Men sought to find a King.
To seek for a King was their intent
Their purpose was to follow the star's guidance.
And to follow the star wherever it went
They were determined to track the star's path.
Noël, Noël, Noël, Noël
Repeated proclamation of the message "Noël."
Born is the King of Israel
Restatement of the birth of the King of Israel.
hen entered in those Wise men three
The Wise Men respectfully entered the presence of the newborn.
Full reverently upon their knee
They knelt down in deep reverence.
And offered there in His presence
Presented their gifts of gold, myrrh, and frankincense before Him.
Their gold and myrrh and frankincense
Offered these valuable gifts in acknowledgment of His significance.
Noël, Noël, Noël, Noël
Reaffirmation of the birth of the King of Israel.
Born is the King of Israel
