The First Noel
In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree
That a census should be taken of the entire Roman world
And everyone went to his own town to register
So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee
To Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David
Because he belonged to the house and line of David
He went there to register with Mary
Who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child
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, 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 stop and stay
Right over the place where the child lay
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel
That a census should be taken of the entire Roman world
And everyone went to his own town to register
So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee
To Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David
Because he belonged to the house and line of David
He went there to register with Mary
Who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child
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, 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 stop and stay
Right over the place where the child lay
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel
