It Came Upon A Midnight Clear/The First Noel — Babyface

written by R.S. Willis (1850) / Traditional (1833)

It came upon the midnight clear That glorious song of old From angels playing near the earth To touch their harps of gold

Peace on the Earth could will two men From Heaven's all-gracious King The world in solemn stillness lay To hear the angels sing

And I hear them singing Sing, I do hear them singing

The first noel the angel did say Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay In fields where they lay, they keeping their sheep On a cold winter's night that was so deep

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

They looked up and saw a star Shining in the east beyond them far

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