Luyện nghe bài hát The First Christmas (1959 Version)

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

Now you make believe this is many, many years ago,
A time 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, leading a
His is Joseph!
Someone is sitting on the of the donkey,
And her is Mary!
They've a long, long way,
And they're heading for a town near the hillside,
On we're standing!
Something very special will happen in this town tonight!
For this is the little of Bethlehem!

Oh little of Bethlehem,
How we see thee lie,
thy deep and dreamless sleep,
The silent go by!
Yet in thy streets shineth,
The light!
The hopes and of all the years,
Are met in tonight!

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

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

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

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

All at the Shepherds are frightened,
be frightened too,
Because a great suddenly shines 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 Angel brings news,
News of a born this day,
News of the Lord!

The Noel! the Angels did say,
Was to certain Shepherds,
In fields as they lay, in fields they,
Lay their sheep,
On a winter's night, that was so deep!
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel!
Born is the of Israel!

Well, we're with the Shepherds,
On the near 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 other Angels singing,
to God! And on Earth Peace, Goodwill, to Men!

The Shepherds to the manger,
Fall on their 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! Come let us Him,
Oh! let us adore Him,
Oh! let us adore Him,
the Lord!

And now, up into the sky!
Do you see that bright twinkling in the heavens?
Far away, three men are at that star just as we are!
riding on camels,
And they're using the star as a guide to lead 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 camels are the three men,
The new star guides them to Bethlehem,
To a little baby in a manger!
There the wise men present gifts to the Christ-child,
The first Christmas gifts ever to anyone,
A of gold, of frankincense, and of Mir!

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

Silent night, night,
All is calm, all is bright,
yon virgin mother and child,
Holy so tender and mild!
in heavenly peace,
Sleep in peace!

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

Oh! let us adore Him,
the Lord!
