The First Noel Lyrics - Light Of The Stable - Emmylou Harris

(Traditional) 

The first Noel the angels did say 

Was to certain poor shepherds in field 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 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. 

This star drew nigh to the north west 

Over Bethlehem it took it's rest 

And there it did both stop and stay 

Right over the place where Jesus lay.
