The New York Room The First Noel 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 winters 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, Noel, Noel, Noel
born is the king of Israel

and by the light of that same star

three wise men came from country far
to seek for a king was their intent
and to follow the star wherever it went
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
born is the king of israel

this star drew nigh to the northwest
over Bethlehem it took its rest
and there it did both pause and stay
right over the place where Jesus lay
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
born is the king of Israel
