The First Noel - Christmas Hymn with Updated Lyrics (Beautiful Winter Landscape Version)
"The First Noel, the angels did say, was to certain poor shepherds in fields where they lay..." This is one of the most famous Christmas songs of all time, and on that many of us have sung with great joy on Christmas Eve in many a candlelit service. This Christmas carol is absolutely glorious and it was such an honour [and so much fun!] to record, with all the soaring 'angel choirs' parts.... If you want to use it in a Christmas church service scroll down for my email to get [free!] permission. I'd be so happy to see this song be used wherever it can be a blessing! If you want a good history and theology lesson, look up the original nine verses of this Christmas hymn and you'll see why my songwriter soul simply had to carefully and diligently write new verses for some parts, trying to stay much closer to the timeline and accurate narrative of Jesus' birth as told in the scriptures. Have a blessed and Merry Christmas and thanks for listening and singing along!

The First Noel, the angels 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 Is - ra - el! The wise men looked and saw a star Shining in the East beyond them far They journeyed long to find the place Where Jesus laid in heavenly grace They brought him gifts, and bowed the knee A tribute to His sovereignty An offering to God’s own Son In thanks for all the Father had done Then let us all with one accord Sing praises to our heavenly Lord That has made heaven and earth of nought And with his blood mankind has bought Verse 2 and 3 © Stacey Plays Hymns 2024 ________________________________________________ Sheet Music for many of my songs here available here or by request, if you don't see the one you want: https://www.sheetmusicplus.com/en/exp...
