LYRICS

VERSE 1: 

 
Three angels came on Christmas night 
To shepherd fields of old; 
The first with lantern shining bright, 
The next with harp of gold. 
Yet ‘twas the third, who without a word, 
Her sweet melody began: 
 
REFRAIN: 
 
Noel, Noel, glad news we’ve come to tell, 
For near today in a manger lay Emmanuel. 
 
VERSE 2: 
 
The shepherds listened to the song of joy 
First sung to them, 
Then left their sheep and made their way 
To nearby Bethlehem. 
On bended knee, they came to see 
The Messiah born for all. 
 
REFRAIN: 
 
Noel, Noel, glad news we’ve come to tell, 
For near today in a manger lay Emmanuel. 
 
VERSE 3: 
 
And now today at Christmas time 
We echo their refrain, 
For peace and light came to the world 
To vanquish sin and pain. 
Sing loud and clear, good news is here; 
Jesus Christ is born today. 
 
REFRAIN: 
 
Noel, Noel, glad news we’ve come to tell, 
For near today in a manger lay Emmanuel.
