Hi and girls, I'm Perry Como, And I'm gonna tell you the wonderful story in the whole world, The Story of the 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, walking slowly, a donkey? His is Joseph! And riding on the is Mary. They've come a long, way, And they're for the town near the hillside, On which standing! Something very will happen in this town tonight! For is the little town of Bethlehem!
Oh little of Bethlehem, How still we see lie, thy deep and dreamless sleep, The stars go by! Yet in thy streets shineth, The light! The hopes and 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 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 crib, so Mary puts little Jesus to sleep, In the sweet hay of a manger!
Come, come, to the manger, Lord Jesus is born on this day!
Now while Jesus in the manger asleep, Let's tiptoe to the hillside near Bethlehem, Where the Shepherds their flock. All at once the are frightened, be frightened too, Because a great light suddenly in the sky! Even the are hushed and still, But then you hear the voice of an of the Lord! And you're no frightened, For the brings good news, News of a born this 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 near Bethlehem. The ask the Angel, to find the Christ-child ? 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, on their knees before the baby, And they him! For He is the Lord!
Oh! all ye faithful, and triumphant! Oh Come ye, Oh! ye, to Bethlehem! and behold Him, Born the of Angels, Oh! Come let us Him, Oh! Come let us Him, Oh! Come let us Him, the Lord!
And now, up into the sky! See that star twinkling in the heavens ? Far away, three men are looking at star just as we are! They're on camels, And they're using the star as a to lead them to the Christ-child. Who are these men who follow the star ? find out!
We Three Kings of are, Bearing gifts, we afar, Field and fountain, and mountain, Following star!
That's boys and girls, The three men on the camels are the three men, The new star guides to Bethlehem, To a baby lying in a manger! the three wise men present gifts to the Christ-child, The first Christmas gifts given to anyone, A of gold, of frankincense, and of Mir! The wise men fall on their knees to Him, A great peace on the night, For it's the 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!
When we Christmas, of Bethlehem, the Virgin Mary, the three wise men, And the of the Christ-child! The Christmas!
Oh! Come let us Him, the Lord!
