1. "The first Noel..." , the angel did say,
" Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay,
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep,
On a cold winter's night that was so deep..."

R: /: Noel, Noel, Holy is :/
The Lord!

2. "They looked up and saw a star
Shining in the east, beyond them far.
And to the earth it gave great light
And so it continued both day and night.

Then let us all with one accord
Sing praises to our heavenly Lord.
That hath made heaven and earth of naught
And with His blood mankind hath bought ! "
