#4. "The First Noel" is in fourth place on the Top Ten Christmas Carols list.
“The First Noel” is a traditional English carol that dates back to the mid-19th C. It is believed to have originated in Cornwall, England. It is likely to be based on a 16th C French carol and is usually performed in English, even though there are some versions in Cornish and French.
The lyrics tell the story of Jesus’ birth and his parents’ journey to Bethlehem. It starts with the angels telling the shepherds in the fields to go to Bethlehem to see the Christ child. They go to Bethlehem and find the baby Jesus lying in a manger. The song ends with a call to all believers to celebrate the birth of Jesus.
The song shares the message that Jesus is the savior of the world and that His birth should be celebrated with love and joy.

#2 “Joy to the World” placed second on the Top Ten Christmas Carols list.
“Joy to the World” was written by English hymnist Isaac Watts in 1719. Based on Psalm 98, it celebrates the coming of Jesus Christ as the Messiah.
The song was later adapted with music by Lowell Mason in 1839. The carol expresses the joy and anticipation of the coming of the Messiah. The lyrics proclaim the good news that Jesus has come.
The song is a reminder of the joy that Christ’s coming brings to the world.
