The First Noel
N Sync Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel
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

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel

They looked up
And saw a star
Shining in the the East
Beyond them far
And to the earth it
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.
Born is the King of Israel.

Overall Meaning

The song "The First Noel" by N Sync is a beautiful and traditional Christmas carol that tells the story of the birth of Jesus. The lyrics describe the first announcement of the birth of the King of Israel, which was made by an angel to a group of poor shepherds who were keeping their sheep in the fields on a cold winter's night. The angel told them the "good news" and they saw a bright star in the East which led them to the baby Jesus in Bethlehem. The lyrics describe the journey of the three wise men, who followed the same star to find the child and offer him gifts.


The song is a beautiful reminder of the true meaning of Christmas and the importance of the birth of Jesus as the King of Israel. It describes the journey of those who came to find him, even from far-off countries, and shows the impact that this child has had on the world. The repetition of the word "Noel" throughout the song adds a joyful and celebratory vibe to the message, making it a perfect song for Christmas time.


Line by Line Meaning

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Rejoice and celebrate - our savior has been born!


Born is the King of Israel
Our Lord and King has arrived in Israel


The first Noel, the angel did say
The angel announced the first Christmas to certain poor shepherds


Was to certain poor shepherds
The angel chose to reveal the news of Christ's birth to humble shepherds


In fields as they lay
The shepherds were in the fields, tending to their flock


In fields where they lay keeping their sheep
The shepherds were keeping watch over their sheep, protecting them from harm


On a cold winter's night that was so deep
It was a bitterly cold and dark winter night


They looked up, And saw a star
The shepherds saw a bright star shining in the sky


Shining in the East beyond them far
The star was located in the East, far away from where the shepherds were


And to the earth it, It gave great light
The star illuminated the night sky and shone brightly on the earth


And so it continued, Both day and night
The star remained visible and bright, both day and night


And by the light of that same star, Three wise men came
The wise men were led to the baby Jesus by following the light of the star


From country far, To seek for a King
The wise men traveled from distant lands, seeking to find the King of the Jews


Was their intent, And to follow the star wherever it went
Their sole purpose was to follow the star and be led to the Christ child


Born is the King of Israel.
Christ has been born and is now King of Israel

The First Noel

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



Imli Lee -Dejavu

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. 

Refrain:
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, 
born is the King of Israel. 

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. [Refrain]

3 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. [Refrain]

JC goes by his initials because when he was in the Mickey Mouse Club there was another Josh so they wouldn't confuse him with the other Josh
