Luyện nghe bài hát The First Christmas (1959 Version)

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

Now suppose you make believe this is many, years ago,
A long before you were born!
You're standing on a hillside, near a town in Palestine,
Do you see the man in the distance, walking slowly, leading a
His is Joseph!
is sitting 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 is the little town of Bethlehem!

Oh town of Bethlehem,
How still we see lie,
Above thy deep and sleep,
The stars go by!
Yet in thy streets 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 getting dark and all of the at the Inn are taken,
But the kindly tells them
They spend the night at a stable nearby!

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

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

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

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

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

Well, we're with the Shepherds,
On the near Bethlehem.
We the Shepherds ask the Angel,
to find the Christ-child?
And the tells them to go to the manger.
And as they leave the sky is filled with other singing,
Glory to God! And on Peace, Goodwill, to Men!

The Shepherds to the manger,
on their 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! 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 star twinkling in the heavens?
Far away, three men are at that star just as we are!
riding on camels,
And they're the star as a guide to lead them to the Christ-child.
Who are these three men who the star?

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

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

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

Silent night, night,
All is calm, all is bright,
yon virgin mother and child,
Holy so tender and mild!
in heavenly peace,
Sleep in peace!

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

Oh! Come let us Him,
the Lord!
