Luyện nghe bài hát The First Christmas (1959 Version)

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

Now suppose you make believe this is many, years ago,
A long time you were born!
You're standing on a hillside, near a little 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 heading for a little town near the hillside,
On we're standing!
Something very special will happen in this town tonight!
For is the little town of Bethlehem!

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

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

Now I told you was gonna happen, and it did!
A boy is born to Mary and Joseph,
they call Jesus!
They have no baby's crib, so Mary puts 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 Jesus is on this day!

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

All at the Shepherds are frightened,
You'd be too,
Because a great suddenly shines in the sky!
the animals are hushed and still,
But then you the voice of an Angel of the Lord!
And no longer 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 lay, in fields where they,
Lay keeping sheep,
On a cold night, that 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,
to find the Christ-child?
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 worship him!
For He is the Lord!

Oh! all ye faithful,
and triumphant!
Oh ye, Oh Come ye, to Bethlehem!
and behold Him,
Born the of Angels,
Oh! let us adore 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!
riding on camels,
And they're using the star as a guide to them to the Christ-child.
Who are these three men who follow the

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

Yes, the three men on the are the three wise men,
The new guides them straight to Bethlehem,
To a baby lying 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 peace on the night,
For it is the Night!

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