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 believe this is many, many years ago, A long time you were born! You're standing on a hillside, a little town in Palestine, Do you see the man in the distance, walking slowly, leading a His is Joseph! And riding on the is Mary. come a long, long way, And they're heading for the near the hillside, On we're standing! Something very will happen in this town tonight! For this is the little of Bethlehem!
Oh town of Bethlehem, How still we see lie, thy deep and dreamless sleep, The stars go by! Yet in thy streets shineth, The light! The and fears of all the years, Are met in tonight!
Now let's follow and Mary into Bethlehem, It's getting and all the rooms at the Inn are taken, So they the night at a stable. Now I told you something was gonna happen, and it did! A baby boy is to Mary, And called him Jesus. They had no baby's crib, so Mary puts little to sleep, In the soft hay of a manger!
Come, come, to the manger, Little Lord is born on this day!
Now while lies in the manger asleep, tiptoe back to the hillside near Bethlehem, Where the Shepherds tend flock. All at once the are frightened, be frightened too, Because a great suddenly shines in the sky! Even the animals are and still, But then you hear the of an Angel of the Lord! And no longer frightened, For the Angel brings news, News of a Saviour this day, of Christ the Lord!
The Noel! the Angels did say, Was to poor Shepherds, In fields as lay, Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel! Born is the of Israel!
Now and girls, Remember, we're still believe we're with the Shepherds and the Angel, On the hillside Bethlehem. The 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 Angels singing, to God! On earth 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! let us adore Him, Oh! let us adore Him, Oh! let us adore Him, the Lord!
And now, up into the sky! See that bright star in the heavens ? Far away, three men are looking at that star as we are! They're on camels, And they're using the star as a guide to lead to the Christ-child. Who are these three men who follow the ? Let's out!
We Three Kings of are, Bearing gifts, we afar, Field and fountain, and mountain, yonder star!
That's boys and girls, The men on the camels are the three wise men, The new star them to Bethlehem, To a little lying in a manger! the three wise men present gifts to the Christ-child, The first Christmas ever given to anyone, A of gold, of frankincense, and of Mir! The wise men fall on their to worship Him, A peace settles on the night, For the Holy Night!
night, holy night, All is calm, all is bright, 'Round yon virgin and child, Holy so tender and mild! in heavenly peace, Sleep in peace!
When we Christmas, Think of Bethlehem, the Mary, the three wise men, And the of the Christ-child! The Christmas!
Oh! let us adore Him, the Lord!
