| Notes: | Traditional English carol, origins unknown but published in 1823. The refrain "Noel, Noel" is a great moment for the whole group to sing out. Five verses tell the full Christmas story. |
DThe first No-Ael the Dangels did say
Was to Gcertain poor Dshepherds in A7fields as they Dlay
In Dfields where Athey lay Dkeeping their sheep
On a Gcold winter's Dnight that was A7so deep
No-Del, No-Ael, No-Del, No-Ael
GBorn is the DKing of A7Is-ra-Del
They Dlooked up and Asaw a Dstar
Shining Gin the Deast be-A7yond them Dfar
And Dto the Aearth it Dgave great light
And Gso it con-Dtinued both A7day and Dnight
No-Del, No-Ael, No-Del, No-Ael
GBorn is the DKing of A7Is-ra-Del
And Dby the light Aof that Dsame star
Three Gwise men Dcame from A7country Dfar
To Dseek for a Aking was Dtheir intent
And Gto follow the Dstar wher-A7ever it Dwent
No-Del, No-Ael, No-Del, No-Ael
GBorn is the DKing of A7Is-ra-Del
This Dstar drew nigh Ato the Dnorthwest
O'er GBethlehem Dit took its A7rest
And Dthere it did Aboth stop and Dstay
Right Gover the place Dwhere Jesus A7lay D
No-Del, No-Ael, No-Del, No-Ael
GBorn is the DKing of A7Is-ra-Del
