Luyện nghe bài hát The First Christmas (1959 Version)

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

Now suppose you make believe is many, many years ago,
A time 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!
Someone is sitting on the of the donkey,
And her is Mary!
come a long, long way,
And they're for a little town near the hillside,
On which standing!
Something very special happen in this little town tonight!
For this is the town of Bethlehem!

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

Let's Joseph and Mary into the town of Bethlehem,
It's 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 something was happen, and it did!
A baby boy is born to and Joseph,
Whom 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,
Children and asleep on the hay,
Sing, sing, of Angels,
Little Lord Jesus is born on day!

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

All at once the are frightened,
You'd be too,
Because a great light shines in the sky!
the animals are hushed and still,
But then you hear the voice of an of the Lord!
And no longer frightened,
For the Angel brings 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, we're still the Shepherds,
On the near Bethlehem.
We hear the ask the Angel,
Where to find the
And the tells them to go to the manger.
And as they leave the sky is filled other Angels 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 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, up into the sky!
Do you see that bright star twinkling in the
Far away, men are looking at that star just as we are!
They're on camels,
And they're the star as a guide to lead them to the Christ-child.
Who are these men who follow the star?

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

Yes, the three men on the camels are the three men,
The new guides them straight to Bethlehem,
To a little baby in a manger!
There the three wise men 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 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,
in heavenly peace!

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

Oh! Come let us Him,
the Lord!
