Hi and girls, I'm Perry Como, And I'm gonna tell you the most wonderful story in the world, The Story of the Christmas!
Now suppose you believe this is many, many years ago, A long time before you born! standing on a hillside, near a little town in Palestine, Do you see the man in the distance, slowly, leading a donkey? His is Joseph! And riding on the is Mary. They've a long, long way, And heading for the town near the hillside, On which standing! Something very special happen in this town tonight! For this is the little of Bethlehem!
Oh little of Bethlehem, How we see thee lie, Above thy 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!
Now let's follow Joseph and into Bethlehem, It's dark 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 puts little Jesus to sleep, In the sweet hay of a manger!
Come, come, to the manger, Little Lord is born on this day!
Now while Jesus lies in the asleep, Let's tiptoe back to the near Bethlehem, the Shepherds tend their flock. All at the Shepherds are frightened, You'd be too, a great light suddenly shines in the sky! Even the animals are and still, But then you hear the voice of an of the Lord! And no longer frightened, For the Angel good news, News of a Saviour this day, News of 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 making believe we're the Shepherds and the Angel, On the hillside Bethlehem. The ask the Angel, Where to find the ? And the Angel them to go to the manger. And as leave the sky is filled with others Angels singing, Glory to God! 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 Come ye, Oh! ye, to Bethlehem! Come and Him, the King of Angels, Oh! Come let us Him, Oh! Come let us Him, Oh! let us adore Him, the Lord!
And now, look up the sky! See that bright twinkling in the heavens ? Far away, three men are looking at that just as we are! riding on camels, And they're using the star as a guide to lead to the Christ-child. Who are three men who follow the star ? Let's out!
We Kings of Orient are, gifts, we traverse afar, Field and fountain, and mountain, yonder star!
That's right and girls, The three men on the camels are the three men, The new star them to Bethlehem, To a little baby in a manger! the three wise men present gifts to the Christ-child, The first Christmas gifts ever to anyone, A of gold, of frankincense, and of Mir! The wise men fall on knees to worship Him, A peace settles on the night, For the Holy Night!
Silent night, night, All is calm, all is bright, yon virgin mother and child, Holy infant so and mild! in heavenly peace, Sleep in peace!
we celebrate Christmas, Think of Bethlehem, the Virgin Mary, the three men, And the of the Christ-child! The Christmas!
Oh! let us adore Him, the Lord!
