Josh Groban - The First Noël Lyrics






The first Noël
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

Noël, Noël, Noël, Noël
Born is the King of Israel

They looked, they looked up
And they saw a star
Shining in the east
Beyond them far

And to the earth it gave great light
So it continued both day and night

Noël, Noël, Noël, Noël
Born is the King of Israel
Noël, Noël, Noël, Noël
Born is the King, born is the King, born is the King of Israel
Noël, Noël, Noël, Noël
Born is the King of Israel
Noël, Noël, Noël, Noël
Born is the King, born is the King, born is the King of Israel
Of Israel, Israel, of Israel

Born is the King of Israel

    Beautiful song! I just love to hear the name of Jesus as the "KING of ISRAEL" sung with quality singers and beautiful orchestration.

    Family Radio Christmas 2019 brought me here. Merry Christmas everyone

  12. B.... W....

    This is really beautiful and moving..the arrangement and choir are spot on..

  13. T.... ....

    Serious question : Israel was declared an independent state in 1948. Jesus’ hometown was Nazareth. So why does the song say King of Israel? Israel didn’t even exist back then.

    T.... ....

    Not a hard question to answer. He was born as a descendant of the lineage of King David and an Israelite. But moreso, he is the Son of God, and the rightful king of Israel, though none of his brothers or sisters recognized him as such when he came into this world. Jesus was born when Israel existed back then and had not been been completely wiped out by the Romans.

    T.... ....

    davidlolololol - thank you for this history lesson. I grew up a heathen without religion.

    T.... ....

    @TadpoleAngel345 ahaha, well everyone has a different upbringing. That's okay man, not trying to make you feel like you're ignorant or anything negative. I figured I'd answer an honest question!

  14. B.... M....

    Came to this because of that one scene near the end of The Stand. It brought tears to my eyes.

  15. U.... A....

    I get goosebumps when I hear the choir sing "Born is the king".

  16. S.... ....

    This is a great song I hear it on mostly local radio

  17. D.... B....

    good song but groban oversings these

  18. K.... M....

    One of my favorite Christmas songs.. just beautiful.. Faith Hill’s voice is so powerful towards end, she sounds like Celine Dion. I could listen to this song any time of year.

  19. B.... P....

    Joyeux Noël

  20. A.... &....

    We love this song! Please check out our own music video of The First Noel here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0NvLZU5DNvQ&t=2s

  31. T.... K....

    Simply beautiful!

  32. F.... ....

    I love Christmas music. But this song I just can't stand. Here Groban and Hill put on a display of ridiculous over-singing at it's worst.

  33. J.... D....

    Let’s face it, the choir are the people who steal this song!!

    J.... D....

    Amen x 3 for this outstanding Choir

    J.... D....

    I was thinking the same 🙏🏾

  34. E.... S....

    I heard this on the radio tonight and had to look up who was singing with Josh. I was shocked to see it's Faith Hill. My ears hurt; I cringed! This rendition is AWFUL! First, their voices don't compliment each other. Second, she seemed to be concentrating more on loud than on melody. The background choir was just a totally different style that didn't fit with the song.

  35. L.... H....

    Jesus is the reason for the season❤

  36. S.... W....

    The First Noel

    The First Noel the angel did say
    Was to certain poor shepherds
    in fields as they lay;
    In fields as 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.

    They looked 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.

    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.

    This star drew nigh to the northwest,
    O'er Bethlehem it took it rest,
    And there it did both stop and stay
    Right over the place where Jesus lay.

    Then entered in those wise men three
    Full reverently upon their knee,
    and offered there in his presence
    Their gold, and myrrh, and frankincense.

    Then let us all with one accord
    Sing praises to our heavenly Lord;
    That hath made heaven and earth of naught,
    And with his blood mankind hath bought

  37. E.... B....

    Born is the king of Triplet Bill.

  38. k.... x....

    Josh Groban was one of my great grandmother's favorite singers - R.I.P. gg I will always love and miss you. 💕

    k.... x....

    So sorry for your loss!

  39. L.... S....

    Only 4 months left guys lets keep it going

  40. H.... b....

    I love Christmas

  41. A.... ....

    very nice rendition!!!

  42. M.... ....

    Merry Christmas Everyone and a Happy New Years

  43. g.... d....

    thank  you for this I had the album noel... but it disappeared with a lot of my stuff... so I'm happy again!!! merry christmas

  44. t.... ....

    Classical singer + country singer + Christmas song = r'n'b gospel track?

    Terrible idea. This doesn't work... they should have kept the tone and tempo of the first verse through the whole song - it would have been much better.

  45. C.... P....

    Very heartfelt❤

  46. K.... B....

    good songs

  47. B.... K....

    Josh sing sehr schoen. Ich bin begeistert!

  48. R.... K....

    love it! Greets from Malaysia!

    R.... K....

    Reinhard Kadmaer and now my turn in 2017... Greet from Malaysia

  49. R.... S....

    I thought that this was carrie underwood for the longest time... so glad I found the real song!

    R.... S....

    Carrie Underwood can actually hit high notes... she would have been a better choice to have sung this with Josh, so the high notes didn't have to be re-written out of the song (which is apparent here).

    R.... S....

    I think it would be beautiful for Josh and Carrie to sing together sometime

  50. J.... H....

    My mother loves Christmas music and especially this guy. We had planned a Christmas light seeing ride tonight (Thanksgiving) but she had a stroke last Friday. So I'm here with her at the hospital playing her all her favorites. Thank You Father God for giving us more time with her. WE PRAISE YOU IN ALL THINGS!!!! rough day for sure...

    J.... H....

    @John Miles I do tend to get stressful when last minute changes happen. But I've been able to hang in there. I'm with family and that is what this day is all about. 

    v.... ....

    Well yes, this time of year does tend to be stress inducing. However, you're quite right when you say that being with family is the most important thing.

    v.... ....

    @John Miles Thank you. I just didn't see things coming. I love the holidays but the stress that comes with the sense of cheer in the air isn't why.

    Josh Groban is so incredibly amazing and together they make this song so beautiful.

  66. K.... H....

    Beautiful....simply beautiful.....

    My school's choir sang this version in our Christmas show. Stunning

  68. N.... S....

    Thank you from Colorado

    Jen Morales Was Deadweight

  70. t.... ....

    I don't usually get emotional in songs but this one makes me almost cry

  71. K.... ....

    They keep playing this on the radio and I think the ending is an absolute mess. Love Josh's voice, but he's pushing the high notes at the end and it's not his best quality notes. And the ending is just a disjointed, loud mess. Thank goodness they stopped the mess for the final soft notes.

  72. D.... B....

    My favorite!!!!!! I love this version..every time I hear it another way, I always sing it to this one...everyone at the party hates me but I can't help it haha

  73. H.... P....

    Beautiful

  74. N.... M....

    It's funny how when I was little I hated this song so much because it said my name lol but I really like it now it makes me happy hearing idk why

  75. I.... M....

    I am delighted. magnificent, brilliant!
    Thank you, from Portugal

  76. D.... D....

    you both did so wonderful I love it

  77. J.... W....

    there is a bit of an r & b thing going on here. its a bit all over the shop arrangement wise, sounds like a weird broadway number getting near the end, i dont like the intentional key clashing.

  78. B.... j....

    Lovey song.

  79. j.... s....

    36 days to christmas 2015 wow !!

    Two great artists and a tremendous carol, can't get much better.

    B.... P....

    +Bruce Powell I'm not big fans of the two but you're right. Can't get better than that indeed

  85. J.... A....

    OMG Josh Groban! What were you thinking doing a duet with her??? She should go to prison for what she did to this song.

  86. W.... I....

    Josh couldn't have picked anyone better than Faith Hill to sing this song with him.  She has such a beautiful voice, and the strength to sing any type of song.  Love it!

  87. f.... ....

    Has Josh Groban sung Silent night?

    f.... ....

    +fvillag1 Yes and it's a sound of beauty

    f.... ....

    +Manuel Orozco this song is beautiful

  89. N.... S....

    Beutiful song but the title is wrong...Right is  " the first Nowell, " that means the first message, not the first Christmas...

  90. C.... M....

  91. S.... A....

    Beautiful song!

  94. S.... ....

    Whi would dislike a christmas god song

    S.... ....

    It's called Atheism...

    S.... ....

    +TristianHenz5851 - Late reply, I know... but I feel I need to inform you of something; I'm atheist, but I tear up when I hear this song. In fact, it's one of my favorite songs, so quit judging.

    S.... ....

    @BCAanimations I never judged anyone, you are assuming I am, and this is one of my favorite songs as well

  95. T.... C....

    Voice of an angel. Love Josh Grobin. ❤️❤️❤️

  96. A.... S....

    She sounds like Celine Dion this is a great song.would be a good song for Missy and Reed Robertson to sing together.man next month I'm turning 15.man does time fly bye soon I'm going to be driving and starting my business and all ill have left are the great memories Evan though my family doesn't get well with each other anymore I will always belive in the true meaning of Christmas and will definitely pass it on when I'm old and gray with my future family which is the truth! my Lord Jesus' s birth.May God bless you all through the holiday and especially the Robertson clan since fill has been suspended from the show for telling the truth which is (A homosexual shall never see the gates of Heaven).Marry Christmas.

    A.... S....

    Any sinner can enter the gates of heaven if they repent and accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, and that includes homosexuals.

    A.... S....

    what does a homosexual have in common with this song? I think you are homophobic!
