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 you make believe this is many, many years ago, A long before you were born! You're standing on a hillside, 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. come a long, long way, And they're heading for the near the hillside, On we're standing! Something very special will in this town tonight! For this is the town of Bethlehem!
Oh town of Bethlehem, How still we see lie, Above thy 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 follow 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 baby boy is to Mary, And called him Jesus. They had no baby's crib, so Mary puts little to sleep, In the sweet hay of a manger!
Come, come, to the manger, Little Lord is born on this day!
Now Jesus lies in the manger asleep, Let's tiptoe to the hillside near Bethlehem, Where the Shepherds their flock. All at the Shepherds are frightened, be frightened too, Because a great light suddenly in the sky! the animals are hushed and still, But then you the voice of an Angel of the Lord! And you're no frightened, For the Angel brings 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 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 them to go to the manger. And as they leave the sky is filled with others 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! 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 at that star just as we are! They're on camels, And they're using the star as a guide to them to the Christ-child. Who are these three men who the star ? Let's out!
We Three Kings of are, Bearing gifts, we afar, and fountain, moor and mountain, Following star!
right boys 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! There the 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 on their knees to worship Him, A great settles on the night, For the Holy Night!
night, holy night, All is calm, all is bright, 'Round yon mother and child, infant so tender and mild! Sleep in 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!
