Noël!

 

Noel - Lauren Daigle on YouTube

Do you know what the word Noel means? We have all heard it for years, even as children with songs and at Christmas time. The word "Noël" is  used a lot during the Christmas holiday season, Noël comes to us from the Latin verb nasci,  which means “to be born.” In the Bible in the book of Ecclesiastes, the birth of Jesus Christ is called natalis. One variation of this word is, nael, which made its way into Old French as a reference to the Christmas season and later into Middle English as nowel.  Today we see it in songs and on Christmas decorations. Now you know what Noel stands for, what we celebrate today on Christmas, the birth of Jesus! The light of the world and savior of all! What a blessing and miracle!

Below are the words to the song, Noel:

"Love incarnate, love divine
Star and angels gave the sign
Bow to babe on bended knee
The Savior of humanity
Unto us a Child is born
He shall reign forevermore
Noel, Noel
Come and see what God has done
Noel, Noel
The story of amazing love!
The light of the world, given for us
Noel
Son of God and Son of man
There before the world began
Born to suffer, born to save
Born to raise us from the grave
Christ the everlasting Lord
He shall reign forevermore
Noel, Noel
Come and see what God has done
Noel, Noel
The story of amazing love!
The light of the world, given for us
Noel
Noel, Noel
Come and see what God has done
Noel, Noel
The story of amazing love!
The light of the world, given for us
Noel
