Directed and Produced By: Ryan Board, Professor of Music, Pepperdine University The First Noel Traditional English/French Carol (?) The first Noel the angel did sayWas 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 starShining 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. And by the light of that same starThree 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. This star drew nigh to the northwestO’er Bethlehem it took its rest;And there it did both stop and stay,Right over the place where Jesus lay. Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,Born is the King of Israel. Then entered in those Wise Men threeFull reverently upon the knee,And offered there, in his presence,Their gold and myrrh and frankincense. Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,Born is the King of Israel.
