The First Noel - The Nylons

The Nylons 1994 Christmas Album, Harmony: The Christmas Songs was a favorite of mine growing up. This is my favorite version of the song that I've ever heard. I hope you enjoy it as much as I always have.

Lyrics

The first noel, the angel did say
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields where 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

And 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 brought

Noel, noel, noel, noel
Born is the King of Israel
