The First Noël Songtext
von Marian Anderson

The first Noël 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.


Noël, Noël, Noël, Noël,
Born is the King of Israel.

They lookèd all 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.

Noël, Noël, Noël, Noël,
Born is the King of Israel.
