The Story Of The First Christmas - Perry Como
This is Perry Como
And I'd like to tell you the most wonderful the most beautiful
The most exciting 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
Someone is sitting on the back of the donkey
And her name 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 into the town of Bethlehem
It's getting dark and all of the rooms at the Inn are taken
But the kindly Innkeeper tells them
They could spend the night at a stable nearby
Now I told you something was gonna happen and it did
A baby boy is born to Mary and Joseph
Whom they call 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
Children sing and asleep on the hay
Sing sing chorus of Angels
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 in fields where they
Lay keeping their sheep
On a cold winter's night that was so deep
Noel Noel Noel Noel
Born is the King of Israel
Well we're still with the Shepherds
On the hillside near Bethlehem
We hear 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
We Three Kings of Orient are
Bearing gifts we traverse afar
Field and fountain moor and mountain
Following yonder star
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
And they too fall on their knees to worship him
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
This is why when we celebrate Christmas
We think of Bethlehem
We think of the Virgin Mary
We think of the three wise men
And the birth of the Christ-child
The First Christmas
Oh come let us adore him
Christ the Lord
