The word nowell has its roots - The word, noel, seems to be a French word with Latin roots: natalis, meaning “birthday.” The meaning has surprise in its meaning.
The Meaning of the Word 'Noel' ... It also operates in two forms: lower-case (“noel”) and capitalized (“Noel”). The former means “a Christmas carol,” and the latter translates to Christmas. Across the pond, you might hear French people wish each other “Joyeux Noël,” which means “Merry Christmas” or “Happy Christmas.”
Originally only sung on Christmas morning until William Sandys - a christian lawyer & Davies Gilbert a wealthy christian who was a member of Parliament (government) and President of the Society of Science in england got came together - and gathered NOT just a few songs but 21 christian Christmas songs. They had a Big heart for Jesus!
Caroling was their way of spreading the good news of Jesus Christ to the world.
THIS SONG HAS 3 PARTS - SHEPARDS, WISE MEN, YOU AND REACHING THE WORLD
The First Noel - ANGELS - from Luke 2:8-20
1. The first Noel the Angels did say
Was to three poor Shepherds in fields as they lay.
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep,
In a cold winter’s night that was so deep.
Chorus
Noel, noel, noel, noel,
Rejoice, It’s Jesus Day, It’s Jesus Day, It’s Jesus Day Rejoice, It’s Jesus Day, It’s Jesus Day, It’s Jesus Day Rejoice, It’s the Birth of Christ, 3x
Born is the King of Israel.
2. They looked up and saw a star (A MULTITUDE OF ANGELS COULD BE BLINDING LIKE 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
Noel, noel, noel, noel,
Born is the King of Israel.
Luke 2:8-20
