Luyện nghe bài hát The First Christmas (1959 Version)

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

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

Oh little of Bethlehem,
How we see thee lie,
thy deep and dreamless sleep,
The stars go by!
Yet in thy dark shineth,
The light!
The hopes and of all the years,
Are met in tonight!

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

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

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

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

All at once the are frightened,
be frightened too,
Because a great light shines in the sky!
the animals are hushed and still,
But you hear the voice of an Angel of the Lord!
And no longer frightened,
For the Angel brings news,
News of a Saviour this day,
News of the Lord!

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

Well, we're with the Shepherds,
On the hillside Bethlehem.
We hear the 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,
to God! And on Earth Peace, Goodwill, to Men!

The hurry to the manger,
Fall on knees before 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,
Born the of Angels,
Oh! let us adore Him,
Oh! Come let us Him,
Oh! let us adore Him,
the Lord!

And now, look up the sky!
Do you see that bright twinkling in the heavens?
Far away, three men are looking at that star as we are!
They're 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 of Orient are,
Bearing gifts, we afar,
and fountain, moor and mountain,
Following star!

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

And they too fall on 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,
Holy infant so and mild!
in heavenly peace,
Sleep in peace!

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

Oh! let us adore Him,
the Lord!
