It came upon the midnight clear   That glorious song of old   From angels playing near the Earth   To touch their harps of gold      Peace on the Earth could will to men   From heavens all-gracious King   The world in solemn stillness lay   To hear the angels sing      And I hear them singing   Sing, I do hear them singing      The first noel the angel did say   Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay   In fields where they lay, lay keeping their sheep   On a cold winters night that was so deep      Noel, noel, noel, noel   Born is the King of Israel   Noel, noel, noel, noel   Born is the King of Israel      They looked up and saw a star   Shining in the east beyond them far      Noel, noel, noel, noel   Born is the King   Say born is the King   Born is the King of Israel
