Holiday Card to Tucson*Carol Texts

The First NoëlThe first Noël the angel did saywas 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.

RefrainNoël, Noël, Noël, Noël,born is the King of Israel.

They looked up and saw a starshining in the east, beyond them far;and to the earth it gave great light,and so it continued both day and night.Refrain

Hark the Hearld Angels SingHark! the herald angels sing,“Glory to the newborn King:peace on earth, and mercy mild,God and sinners reconciled!”Joyful, all ye nations, rise,join the triumph of the skies;with th’angelic hosts proclaim,“Christ is born in Bethlehem!”

RefrainHark! the herald angels sing,“Glory to the newborn King!”

Hail the heaven-born Prince of Peace!Hail the Sun of Righteousness!Light and life to all He brings,risen with healing in His wings.Mild He lays His glory by,born that we no more may die,born to raise us from the earth,born to give us second birth. Refrain
