1. Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel!
This is the salutation of the Angel Gabriel
Tidings true I bring to you Sent from the Trinity,
By Gabriel to Nazareth, City of Galilee,
A Maiden pure and Virgin bright, thro' Her humility,
Shall bear the Second Person of Blessed Deity.
2. Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel!
This is the salutation of the Angel Gabriel
Tidings true I bring to you, ye Shepherds round about,
In Bethlehem the Lord is born, Go, Shepherds Seek Him out!
Ye there shall find the Holy Child, laid in a Manger poor!
Go, tell abroad these Tidings; Go, worship and adore.
3. Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel!
This is the salutation of the Angel Gabriel
Tidings true I bring to you, with me the Angels sing,
In David's City is the Lord, the Saviour, Christ, the King!
Then men and Angels, carol on your loudest praise again,
To God on High all Glory, and Peace below to men!
