Hi and girls, I'm Perry Como, And I'm gonna tell you the most wonderful in the whole world, The Story of the Christmas!
Now suppose you make this is many, many years ago, A long time before you born! You're standing on a hillside, a little town in Palestine, Do you see the man in the distance, slowly, leading a donkey? His is Joseph! And on the donkey is Mary. They've a long, long way, And they're for the town near the hillside, On which standing! very special will happen in this town tonight! For this is the town of Bethlehem!
Oh town of Bethlehem, How we see thee lie, Above thy deep and sleep, The silent go by! Yet in thy dark shineth, The light! The and fears of all the years, Are met in tonight!
Now let's Joseph and Mary into Bethlehem, It's getting and all the rooms at the Inn are taken, So spend the night at a stable. Now I you something special was gonna happen, and it did! A boy is born to Mary, And called him Jesus. They had no baby's crib, so puts little Jesus to sleep, In the sweet hay of a manger!
Come, come, to the manger, Little Jesus is born on this day!
Now while Jesus in the manger asleep, tiptoe back to the hillside near Bethlehem, Where the Shepherds their flock. All at once the are frightened, be frightened too, Because a great light 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 brings good news, News of a Saviour born day, of Christ the Lord!
The Noel! the Angels did say, Was to certain Shepherds, In fields as lay, Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel! Born is the of Israel!
Now and girls, Remember, we're still making believe we're with the and the Angel, On the hillside Bethlehem. The 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! On earth Peace, Goodwill, to Men!
The Shepherds to the manger, Fall on their before the baby, And they him! For He is the Lord!
Oh! all ye faithful, and triumphant! Oh ye, Oh! Come ye, to Bethlehem! Come and Him, Born the of Angels, Oh! Come let us Him, Oh! let us adore Him, Oh! let us adore Him, the Lord!
And now, look up the sky! See that bright star in the heavens ? Far away, three men are looking at 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 ? Let's out!
We Three Kings of are, Bearing gifts, we afar, and fountain, moor and mountain, Following star!
That's right and girls, The three men on the camels are the three men, The new guides them 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! The men fall on their knees to worship Him, A great peace on the night, For the Holy Night!
night, holy night, All is calm, all is bright, 'Round yon mother and child, Holy infant so and mild! in heavenly peace, Sleep in peace!
we celebrate Christmas, Think of Bethlehem, the Mary, the three wise men, And the of the Christ-child! The Christmas!
Oh! Come let us Him, the Lord!
