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 exciting story in the whole world,
The of the First Christmas!

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

Oh little of Bethlehem,
How we see thee lie,
Above thy and dreamless sleep,
The silent 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 getting and all of the rooms at the Inn are taken,
But the kindly tells them
could spend the night at a stable nearby!

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

Come, come, to the manger,
Children sing and 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,
You'd be too,
a great light suddenly shines in the sky!
Even the animals are and still,
But then you the voice of an Angel of the Lord!
And no longer frightened,
For the brings good news,
News of a Saviour born day,
of Christ the Lord!

The First Noel! the did say,
Was to poor Shepherds,
In as they lay, in fields where they,
Lay keeping 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 the Christ-child?
And the Angel them to go to the manger.
And as they leave the sky is with other Angels singing,
Glory to God! And on Peace, Goodwill, to Men!

The Shepherds to the manger,
Fall on knees before the baby,
And worship him!
For He is the Lord!

Oh! all ye faithful,
and triumphant!
Oh ye, Oh Come ye, to Bethlehem!
Come and Him,
the King of Angels,
Oh! Come let us Him,
Oh! let us adore Him,
Oh! Come let us Him,
the Lord!

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

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

Yes, the three men on the are the three wise men,
The new star them straight to Bethlehem,
To a little baby in a manger!
There the wise 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 fall on their knees to Him,
And now, a great peace on the night,
For it is the Night!

Silent night, night,
All is calm, all is bright,
'Round yon 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 of the three wise men,
And the of the Christ-child!
The Christmas!

Oh! Come let us Him,
the Lord!
