Hi boys and girls, I'm Como, And I'm gonna tell you the most wonderful in the whole world, The of the First Christmas!
Now suppose you make 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, walking slowly, a donkey? His is Joseph! And on the donkey is Mary. They've come a long, way, And heading for the town near the hillside, On we're standing! very special will happen in this town tonight! For this is the little of Bethlehem!
Oh little of Bethlehem, How we see thee lie, Above thy deep and 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 Joseph and Mary into Bethlehem, It's dark and all the rooms at the Inn are taken, So spend the night at a stable. Now I told you something was gonna happen, and it did! A boy is born to Mary, And they him Jesus. had no baby's crib, so Mary puts little Jesus to sleep, In the soft hay of a manger!
Come, come, to the manger, Lord Jesus is born on this day!
Now Jesus lies in the manger asleep, Let's tiptoe back to the hillside Bethlehem, Where the Shepherds tend flock. All at once the are frightened, You'd be too, Because a great light shines in the sky! Even the are hushed 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, 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 making believe we're with the Shepherds 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 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, Born the of Angels, Oh! let us adore Him, Oh! Come let us Him, Oh! let us adore Him, the Lord!
And now, look up the sky! See that star twinkling in the heavens ? Far away, three men are at that star just as we are! They're on camels, And they're using the as a guide to lead them to the Christ-child. Who are these three men who the star ? find 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 lying in a manger! There the three men present gifts to the Christ-child, The first gifts ever given to anyone, A of gold, of frankincense, and of Mir! The wise men fall on their to worship Him, A great 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, of Bethlehem, the Virgin Mary, the three wise men, And the of the Christ-child! The Christmas!
Oh! let us adore Him, the Lord!
