The first noel, earth and Heaven embraced,
As a virgin beheld her new born babe.
From realms on high to a manger on earth,
Salvation had dawned in a lowly birth.

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

The Son of God, in kindness He came
As a friend to the hopeless, the lost, and the lame.
Our sins He bore, yet His name we despised.
And the hands that brought healing were pierced as He died.

The Author of Life, there lifeless He lay,
As the grave cast its shadow and darkness reigned.
Then out of death broke forth a great light,
As He rose up in victory, the glorious Christ.

Now let us all with one accord
Bring praises to our King.
All glory, power, and honor be
Forever unto Him. (Repeat)
