[verse 1]
The first Noel the angel 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
Noel Noel Noel Noel
Born is the King of Israel

[chorus Unison]
And tonight we gather near,
Hearts unbroken, crystal clear,
In this light we’re not alone,
Grace has found us, brought us home.
Silent night, we rise above
Held together, wrapped in love

[verse 2 ]
And by the light of that same star
Three wise men came from country far
To seek for a king was their intent
And to follow the star wherever it went
[Unison] Noel Noel Noel Noel
[Unison] Born is the King of Israel

[chorus Unison]
And tonight we gather near,
Hearts unbroken, crystal clear,
In this light we’re not alone,
Grace has found us, brought us home.
Silent night, we rise above
Held together, wrapped in love

[verse 3]
This star drew nigh to the northwest
Over Bethlehem it took its rest
And there it did both stop and stay
Right over the place where Jesus lay
Noel Noel Noel Noel
Born is the King of Israel

[chorus Unison]
And tonight we gather near,
Hearts unbroken, crystal clear,
In this light we’re not alone,
Grace has found us, brought us home.
Silent night, we rise above
Held together, wrapped in love
