The First Noel
Jackie Evancho (Holiday) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
And to the earth it gave great light
And so it continued both day and night
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King
Born is the King of Israel!
"The First Noel" is a classic Christmas carol that tells the story of the birth of Jesus Christ. The song begins by referring to the angels who announced Jesus' birth to a group of poor shepherds in a field. The term "Noel" means Christmas or the celebration of the birth of Christ. The shepherds looked up and saw a bright star in the sky, which led them to the manger where Jesus was born. The song ends by rejoicing in the birth of the "King of Israel," which refers to Jesus as the savior and messiah.
The lyrics of "The First Noel" are simple, yet profound. They evoke a sense of wonder and awe at the miracle of Jesus' birth. The song has been adapted and reinterpreted by countless artists over the years, but the message remains the same - Jesus' birth is a cause for celebration and joy.

The First Noel the angel did say
Was to certain poor shepherds
in fields as they lay;
In fields as 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.
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.
This star drew nigh to the northwest,
O'er Bethlehem it took it rest,
And there it did both stop and stay
Right over the place where Jesus lay.
Then entered in those wise men three
Full reverently upon their knee,
and offered there in his presence
Their gold, and myrrh, and frankincense.
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

Just to say
