Trivia, story behind the song, etc.

First published in 1833 by William Sandys in Christmas Carols, Ancient and Modern but is thought to date back to the 13th or 14th century [1]

Lyrics

The first Noel the angels did say
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay;
In fields where they lay tending their sheep,
On a cold winter’s night that was so deep.

Refrain:  Noel (4x), Born is the King of Israel.

They lookèd 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.

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

Zig – guitar   Geoff– 2nd guitar, harmony 
David Crossland – harmony
