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. Chorus: 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. Chorus 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. Chorus 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. Chorus Then entered in those Wise men three Full reverently upon their knee And offered there in His presence Their gold and myrrh and frankincense. Chorus Then let us all with one accord Sing praises to our heavenly Lord That hath made Heaven and earth of nought And with his blood mankind has bought. Chorus

This is the most beautiful version I have ever heard. I’m tearing up over here. I am 5 months pregnant and played this for my baby in the womb. He started doing somersaults mid-song ❤️ love you ladies! Your talent is beyond compare.

[@donalds.torres626]

Saten did. They did great

[@AeviumFilms]

Always a pleasure shooting music videos with you ladies! Thanks for bringing so much light to the world ⭐️

[@sperospanios2485]

Simply the finest rendition of the song ever. If it were not these lovely ladies, it may have been the angels themselves.

[@quemaspana]

Wow, what a set of pipes that lead singer has! What I wouldn't give for an instrument like that. Beautiful.

[@saemstunes]

Those ladies' bass notes are cleeeean!

[@josephkilleen7807]

Women and bass notes. Um, no. That's not how it works. Contralto is the lowest female voice.

[@ChristopherCorinthian]

You guys please don't stop doing these, you all are just enlightening people, we need humans like you, seriously, I'm so happy listening to your songs, praise to Lord Jesus, you guys are a gift from Him, Christ🙏🙏🙏❤❤💖💖🎄💒💒

To the 96 people that put a thumbs down, were you not hugged enough or something? I've listened to this song I don't know how may times (yes I know it's not Christmas) and I still get chills. Especially at 2:52. Well done, Noteworth!

I literally almost cried at 2:55. Also, kudos to your sound tech, that was flawlessly mixed, and I know. The voices sounded perfectly blended, yet perfectly distinct, and that is a masterful accomplishment.
