The first Noel the angels did say - Lyrics

The first Noel the angels 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
 
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel  
Born is the King of Israel
 
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   (Noel...)
 
The first Noel the angels 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   (Noel...)
