Letra:
The first Noel 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 deepNoel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of IsraelThey 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 nightNoel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of IsraelAnd by the light of that same star
Three wise men came from country far
To seek for a king was their intent
And to follow the star wherever it wentNoel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of IsraelThis star drew nigh to the northwest
O'er Bethlehem it took it's rest
And there it did both stop and stay
Right over the place where Jesus layNoel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of IsraelThen did they know assuredly
Within that house, the king did lie
One entered in then for to see
And found the babe in povertyNoel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of IsraelThen enter'd in those wise men three,
Full reverently upon their knee,
And offer'd there, in his presence,
Their gold, and myrrh, and frankincenseNoel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of IsraelBetween an ox stall and an ass
This child truly there born he was
For want of clothing they did him lay
All in a manger, among the hayNoel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of IsraelNow let us all with one accord
Sing praises to our heavenly Lord
That hath made heaven and earth of nought
And with his blood mankind hath boughtNoel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of IsraelIf we in our time shall do well
We shall be free from death and Hell
For God hath prepared for us all
A resting place in generalNoel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel

The provided lyrics are derived from the first known publication of the carol, known then as "The First Nowell", in 1823. The melody is believed to date from at least the eighteenth century, though it is possibly hundreds of years older, and with endless existing variations to its lyrics.
