Description

Glee is an American musical comedy-drama television series produced by Fox.


The First Noel (also written The First Noël and The First Nowell) is a traditional classical English carol, most likely from the 18th century, although possibly earlier. The word Noel comes from the French word Noël meaning Christmas, from the Latin word natalis which translates as birthday.

Transcript

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!

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.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel!
