Luyện nghe bài hát The First Christmas (1959 Version)

This is Como . . .
And I'd like to you the most wonderful, the most beautiful,
The most exciting story in the world,
The of the First Christmas!

Now suppose you make this is many, many years ago,
A long before you were born!
You're on a hillside, near a little town in Palestine,
Do you see the man in the distance, slowly, leading a donkey?
His is Joseph!
Someone is on the back of the donkey,
And her is Mary!
They've a long, long way,
And heading for a little town near the hillside,
On which standing!
very special will happen in this little town tonight!
For this is the little of Bethlehem!

Oh little of Bethlehem,
How still we see lie,
Above thy and dreamless sleep,
The silent go by!
Yet in thy streets shineth,
The light!
The hopes and of all the years,
Are met in tonight!

Let's follow Joseph and Mary into the of Bethlehem,
It's getting and all of the rooms at the Inn are taken,
But the kindly tells them
They could spend the at a stable nearby!

Now I you something was gonna happen, and it did!
A boy is born to Mary and Joseph,
they call Jesus!
They have no baby's crib, so puts little Jesus to sleep,
In the sweet hay of a manger!

Come, come, to the manger,
Children and asleep on the hay,
Sing, sing, of Angels,
Lord Jesus is born on this day!

Jesus is in the manger,
So let's tiptoe out to the near Bethlehem,
Where the are tending their flock.

All at once the are frightened,
You'd be too,
a great light suddenly shines in the sky!
Even the are hushed and still,
But then you hear the of an Angel of the Lord!
And no longer frightened,
For the Angel good news,
News of a born this day,
News of the Lord!

The Noel! the Angels did say,
Was to poor Shepherds,
In fields as lay, in fields where they,
Lay their sheep,
On a winter's night, that was so deep!
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel!
is the King of Israel!

Well, still with the Shepherds,
On the hillside Bethlehem.
We the Shepherds ask the Angel,
Where to find the
And the Angel them to go to the manger.
And as they the sky is filled with other Angels singing,
Glory to God! And on Peace, Goodwill, to Men!

The hurry to the manger,
Fall on their knees the baby,
And they him!
For He is the Lord!

Oh! all ye faithful,
and triumphant!
Oh Come ye, Oh ye, to Bethlehem!
Come and Him,
the King of Angels,
Oh! Come let us Him,
Oh! let us adore Him,
Oh! let us adore Him,
the Lord!

And now, look up the sky!
Do you see bright star twinkling in the heavens?
Far away, men are looking at that star just as we are!
riding on camels,
And they're using the as a guide to lead them to the Christ-child.
Who are these three men who follow the

We Three Kings of are,
Bearing gifts, we afar,
Field and fountain, and mountain,
yonder star!

Yes, the three men on the camels are the three men,
The new star guides them to Bethlehem,
To a little baby in a manger!
There the three men present gifts to the Christ-child,
The Christmas gifts ever given to anyone,
A of gold, of frankincense, and of Mir!

And they too on their knees to worship Him,
And now, a great settles on the night,
For it is the Night!

night, holy night,
All is calm, all is bright,
'Round yon mother and child,
infant so tender and mild!
Sleep in peace,
Sleep in peace!

This is why we celebrate Christmas,
We of Bethlehem,
We think of the Mary,
We of the three wise men,
And the of the Christ-child!
The Christmas!

Oh! Come let us Him,
the Lord!
