The Story of the First Christmas

The Story of the First Christmas - Perry Como (佩裡·科莫)

Hi boys and girls i am Perry Como

And I'd like to tell you the most wonderful

Story in the whole world

The Story of the First Christmas

Now suppose you make believe

This is many many years ago

A long time before you were born

You're standing on a hillside

Near a little town in Palestine

Do you see the man in the distance

Walking slowly leading a donkey

His name is Joseph

And riding on the donkey is Mary

They've come a long long way

And they're heading for a little

Town near the hillside

On which we're standing

Something very special will happen

In this little town tonight

For this is the little town of Bethlehem

Oh little town of Bethlehem

How still we see thee lie

Above thy deep and dreamless sleep

The silent stars go by

Yet in thy dark streets shineth

The everlasting light

The hopes and fears of all the years

Are met in thee tonight

Let's follow Joseph and Mary

Nto the town of Bethlehem

It's getting dark and all of

The rooms at the Inn are taken

So they could spend the night at a stable

Now I told you something special was

Gonna happen and it did

A baby boy is born to Mary

They call him Jesus

They have no baby's crib so

Mary puts little Jesus to sleep

In the soft sweet hay of a manger

Come come come to the manger

Little Lord Jesus is born on this day

Jesus is asleep in the manger

So let's tiptoe out to the

Hillside near Bethlehem

Where the Shepherds are tending their flock

All at once the Shepherds are frightened

You'd be frightened too

Because a great light

Suddenly shines in the sky

Even the animals are hushed and still

But then you hear the voice of an Angel of the Lord

And you're no longer frightened

For the Angel brings good news

News of a Saviour born this day

News of Christ the Lord

The First Noel the Angels did say

Was to certain poor Shepherds

In fields as they lay

Noel Noel Noel Noel

Born is the King of Israel

Now boys and girls

Now you believe

Well we're still with the Shepherds

On the hillside near Bethlehem

The Shepherds ask the Angel

Where to find the Christ-child

And the Angel tells them to go to the manger

And as they leave

The sky is filled with other Angels singing

Glory to God And on Earth Peace Goodwill to Men

The Shepherds hurry to the manger

Fall on their knees before the baby

And they worship him

For He is Christ the Lord

Oh Come all ye faithful

Joyful and triumphant

Oh Come ye Oh Come ye to Bethlehem

Come and behold Him

Born the King of Angels

Oh Come let us adore Him

Oh Come let us adore Him

Oh Come let us adore Him

Christ the Lord

And now look up into the sky

Do you see that bright star

Twinkling in the heavens

Far away three men are

Looking at that star just as we are

They're riding on camels

And they're using the star

As a guide to lead them to the Christ-child

Who are these three men who follow the star

Let's find out

We Three Kings of Orient are

Bearing gifts we traverse afar

Field and fountain moor and mountain

Following yonder star

That's right boys and girls

Yes the three men

On the camels are the three wise men

The new star guides them straight to Bethlehem

To a little baby lying in a manger

There the three wise men present

Gifts to the Christ-child

The first Christmas gifts ever given to anyone

A gift of gold of frankincense and of Mir

The wise man follw the wothingtone

And now a great peace settles on the night

For it is the Holy Night

Silent night holy night

All is calm all is bright

'Round yon virgin mother and child

Holy infant so tender and mild

Sleep in heavenly peace

Sleep in heavenly peace

When we celebrate Christmas

We think of Bethlehem

The Virgin Mary

The three wise men

And the birth of the Christ-child

The First Christmas

Oh Come let us adore Him

Christ the Lord
