Lyrics The First Noel - The December People, John Wetton

The First Noel

The first Noel, the Angels did say
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay
In the fields where they lay keeping their sheep
On a cold winter’s night that was, oh so, so deep
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel
Looking out, they saw a star
In the east beyond them far
And to the earth it gave light
So they continued day and night
By the light of that star
Three wise men came from far
To seek the King was their intent
And to follow the star wherever it went
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel
Well, this star drew to northwest
Over Bethlehem it rest
And there it stopped and there it stayed
Over the place where Jesus lay
And those wise men three
Fell upon their knees
And offered there in His presence
Their gifts for all to see
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
