The First Noel / Deck The Halls
["The First Noel"]
Shall we sing?
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 cold winter’ night that was so deep
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel
They looked it up and saw a star
Shining in the East, beyond them far
And to the earth it gave great light
And so it continued both day and night
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel
["Deck The Halls"]
Deck the halls with boughs of holly
Fa la la la la la la la la
'Tis the season to be jolly
Fa la la la la la la la la
Don we now our gay apparel
Fa la la, la la la, la, la, la
Troll the ancient Yuletide carol
Fa la la la la la la la la
See the blazing yule before us
Fa la la la la la la la la
Strike the harp and join the chorus
Fa la la la la la la la la
Follow me in merry measure
Fa la la, la la la, la, la, la
While I tell of Yuletide treasure
Fa la la la la la la la la
