The First Noel - Clay Aiken Lyrics by American Idol

The first NoÃ«l 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.

chorus:
NoÃ«l, NoÃ«l, NoÃ«l, NoÃ«l!
Born is the King of Israel.

They look-ed 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.

chorus

This star drew nigh unto the northwest.
O'er Bethlehem it took its rest,
And there it did both stop and stay
Right over the place where Jesus lay.

chorus

Then let us all with one accord
Sing praises to our heavenly Lord;
That hath made heaven and earth of naught,
And with his blood mankind hath bought.
