この曲の旋律は、イングランド西部地方に17世紀以前から伝わる旋律である。ウィリアム・サンズ(英語版)が1833年に発表して以来、軽快な曲と共に世界に広まった。アメリカでもよく歌われるようになった。日本語訳は、津川主一によるものである。

- The first Noel the angels 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:
- refrain
- 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 north-west;
- O'er Bethlehem it took its rest;
- And there it did both stop and stay
- Right over the place where Jesus lay:
- Then entered in those Wise Men three,
- Fell 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 bought,
- And with his blood mankind hath bought:
