The First Noel
The Eccentric Opera Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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.
The first Noel, the angels did say,
They looked up and saw a star
Shining in the east, beyond them far.
(Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel.)
And to the earth it gave great light,
And so it continued both day and night.
And to the earth it gave great light,
And so it continued both day and, and, and night, and night.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
Born the King of Israel.
(Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel.)
The Eccentric Opera's song The First Noel is a classic Christmas carol that tells the story of the birth of Jesus Christ. The song starts with the repetition of the word "Noel," which is an old French word that means Christmas. The first verse of the song is about the announcement of the birth of Jesus Christ to the shepherds in the fields. The angels appeared to the shepherds and told them about the birth of the Savior. This verse sets the tone for the rest of the song, which is about the joy and wonder of the birth of Jesus Christ.
The second verse of the song is about the star that appeared in the sky to guide the three wise men to the location of the birth of Jesus Christ. The star was a symbol of hope and light, which illuminated the world and gave hope to all those who saw it. The repetition of the word "Noel" throughout the song is a reminder of the message of hope and light that is associated with the birth of Jesus Christ.
The chorus of the song is a celebration of the birth of the King of Israel. The repetition of the word "Noel" in the chorus is a reminder that Christmas is a time to celebrate the birth of our Savior and to give thanks for the hope and joy that he brings to the world.
