Luyện nghe bài hát The First Christmas (1959 Version)

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

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

Oh town of Bethlehem,
How still we see lie,
thy deep and dreamless sleep,
The silent go by!
Yet in thy dark shineth,
The light!
The and fears of all the years,
Are met in tonight!

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

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

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

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

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

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

Well, we're still the Shepherds,
On the hillside Bethlehem.
We the Shepherds ask the Angel,
Where to find the
And the Angel tells to go to the manger.
And as they leave the sky is filled with Angels singing,
to God! And on Earth 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!
and behold Him,
Born the of Angels,
Oh! Come let us Him,
Oh! Come let us Him,
Oh! Come let us Him,
the Lord!

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

We Three of Orient are,
gifts, we traverse afar,
Field and fountain, and mountain,
Following star!

Yes, the three men on the camels are the three men,
The new star guides them to Bethlehem,
To a baby lying in a manger!
There the three men present gifts to the Christ-child,
The first 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 peace on the night,
For it is the Night!

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

This is why 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!
