Luyện nghe bài hát The Story Of The First Christmas (1959 Version)

This is Perry . . .
And I'd like to tell you the wonderful, the most beautiful,
The most exciting story in the world,
The Story of the Christmas!

Now suppose you make believe this is many, years ago,
A time before you were born!
You're standing on a hillside, near a town in Palestine,
Do you see the man in the distance, walking slowly, leading a
His is Joseph!
is sitting on the back of the donkey,
And her is Mary!
They've come a long, way,
And they're heading for a little town the hillside,
On we're standing!
very special will happen in this little town tonight!
For this is the town of Bethlehem!

Oh town of Bethlehem,
How still we see lie,
Above thy deep and sleep,
The stars go by!
Yet in thy streets shineth,
The light!
The hopes and of all the years,
Are met in tonight!

Let's follow Joseph and Mary into the of Bethlehem,
getting dark and all of the rooms at the Inn are taken,
But the kindly Innkeeper them
They spend the night at a stable nearby!

Now I told you was gonna happen, and it did!
A baby boy is born to and Joseph,
Whom call Jesus!
They have no baby's crib, so puts little Jesus to sleep,
In the sweet hay of a manger!

Come, come, to the manger,
sing and asleep on the hay,
Sing, sing, of Angels,
Little Lord is born on this day!

is asleep in the manger,
So let's out to the hillside near Bethlehem,
Where the Shepherds are tending flock.

All at once the are frightened,
be frightened too,
Because a great light suddenly in the sky!
the animals are hushed and still,
But you hear the voice of an Angel of the Lord!
And you're no frightened,
For the brings good news,
of a Saviour born this day,
News of the Lord!

The First Noel! the did say,
Was to poor Shepherds,
In fields as they lay, in fields they,
Lay their sheep,
On a cold night, that was so deep!
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel!
Born is the of Israel!

Well, still with the Shepherds,
On the hillside Bethlehem.
We hear 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 other singing,
to God! And on Earth Peace, Goodwill, to Men!

The hurry to the manger,
on their 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!
and behold Him,
Born the of Angels,
Oh! let us adore Him,
Oh! Come let us Him,
Oh! Come let us Him,
the Lord!

And now, look up the sky!
Do you 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 them to the Christ-child.
Who are these men who follow the star?

We Three of Orient are,
Bearing gifts, we afar,
Field and fountain, and mountain,
yonder star!

Yes, the three men on the are the three wise men,
The new star them straight to Bethlehem,
To a baby lying in a manger!
There the three wise men gifts to the Christ-child,
The first gifts ever given to anyone,
A of gold, of frankincense, and of myrrh!

And they too on their knees to worship Him,
And now, a great settles on the night,
For it is the Night!

night, holy night,
All is calm, all is bright,
'Round yon mother and child,
Holy infant so and mild!
Sleep in peace,
Sleep in peace!

This is why we celebrate Christmas,
We of Bethlehem,
We think of the Mary,
We think of the three men,
And the of the Christ-child!
The Christmas!

Oh! let us adore Him,
the Lord!
