The First Noel is a traditional Christmas carol that dates back to the 16th century. The lyrics tell the story of the birth of Jesus Christ and the Three Wise Men's journey to Bethlehem to worship him. The song is typically sung in a joyful, celebratory manner, as it is one of the most popular Christmas carols. The First Noel, the Angels did say; Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay; In fields where they lay keeping their sheep; On a cold winter's night that was so deep.
