“Noel” (or “Noël”) is a word that directly means “Christmas”, especially in French-speaking cultures. The original carol was first published in 1885, but it is believed to have been composed much earlier, possibly in early 1800s. The fact that the song is so old, it is hard to know exactly who composed the melody to the famous Christmas song. However, historians commonly attribute the melody to the most popular musical setting in the United States, that is commonly known as "Mueller". The carol is a beautiful and poignant reminder of the humble beginnings of Jesus Christ. The lyrics are simple, yet profound, with the melody both sweet and stirring.

Lyrics
v1 Away in a manger No crib for a bed The little Lord Jesus Laid down His sweet head The stars in the bright sky Looked down where He lay The little Lord Jesus Asleep on the hay CHORUS : Noel, noel, the angels sing Great tidings have come to us For unto Him, our praises ring We bring our hearts to Him v2 The cattle are lowing The Baby awakes But little Lord Jesus No crying He makes I love You, Lord Jesus Look down from the sky And stay by my side Until morning is nigh V3 Be near me, Lord Jesus I ask You to stay Close by me forever And love me I pray Bless all the dear children In Your tender care And fit us for heaven To live with You there
