[00:00:00] The Story Of The First Christmas - Perry Como

[00:00:30] This is Perry Como

[00:00:30] And I'd like to tell you the most wonderful the most beautiful

[00:00:34] The most exciting story in the whole world

[00:00:38] The story of the First Christmas

[00:00:44] Now suppose you make believe this is many many years ago

[00:00:46] A long time before you were born

[00:00:49] You're standing on a hillside near a little town in Palestine

[00:00:54] Do you see the man in the distance walking slowly leading a donkey

[00:01:00] His name is Joseph

[00:01:02] Someone is sitting on the back of the donkey

[00:01:05] And her name is Mary

[00:01:08] They've come a long long way

[00:01:11] And they're heading for a little town near the hillside

[00:01:13] On which we're standing

[00:01:16] Something very special will happen in this little town tonight

[00:01:20] For this is the little town of Bethlehem

[00:01:32] Oh little town of Bethlehem

[00:01:38] How still we see thee lie

[00:01:44] Above thy deep and dreamless sleep

[00:01:51] The silent stars go by

[00:01:58] Yet in thy dark streets shineth

[00:02:04] The everlasting light

[00:02:10] The hopes and fears of all the years

[00:02:18] Are met in thee tonight

[00:02:32] Let's follow Joseph and Mary into the town of Bethlehem

[00:02:36] It's getting dark and all of the rooms at the Inn are taken

[00:02:39] But the kindly Innkeeper tells them

[00:02:41] They could spend the night at a stable nearby

[00:02:46] Now I told you something was gonna happen and it did

[00:02:50] A baby boy is born to Mary and Joseph

[00:02:52] Whom they call Jesus

[00:02:56] They have no baby's crib so Mary puts little Jesus to sleep

[00:03:00] In the soft sweet hay of a manger

[00:03:04] Come come come to the manger

[00:03:08] Children sing and asleep on the hay

[00:03:13] Sing sing chorus of Angels

[00:03:19] Little Lord Jesus is born on this day

[00:03:30] Jesus is asleep in the manger

[00:03:31] So let's tiptoe out to the hillside near Bethlehem

[00:03:35] Where the Shepherds are tending their flock

[00:03:38] All at once the Shepherds are frightened

[00:03:41] You'd be frightened too

[00:03:42] Because a great light suddenly shines in the sky

[00:03:49] Even the animals are hushed and still

[00:03:53] But then you hear the voice of an Angel of the Lord

[00:04:02] And you're no longer frightened

[00:04:03] For the Angel brings good news

[00:04:06] News of a Saviour born this day

[00:04:09] News of Christ the Lord

[00:04:14] The First Noel the Angels did say

[00:04:22] Was to certain poor Shepherds

[00:04:25] In fields as they lay in fields where they

[00:04:33] Lay keeping their sheep

[00:04:36] On a cold winter's night that was so deep

[00:04:44] Noel Noel Noel Noel

[00:04:53] Born is the King of Israel

[00:05:08] Well we're still with the Shepherds

[00:05:09] On the hillside near Bethlehem

[00:05:13] We hear the Shepherds ask the Angel

[00:05:15] Where to find the Christ-child

[00:05:17] And the Angel tells them to go to the manger

[00:05:21] And as they leave the sky is filled with other Angels singing

[00:05:25] Glory to God and on Earth Peace Goodwill to Men

[00:05:39] The Shepherds hurry to the manger

[00:05:40] Fall on their knees before the baby

[00:05:42] And they worship him

[00:05:45] For he is Christ the Lord

[00:05:51] Oh come all ye faithful

[00:05:57] Joyful and triumphant

[00:06:02] Oh come ye oh come ye to Bethlehem

[00:06:15] Come and behold him

[00:06:20] Born the King of Angels

[00:06:26] Oh come let us adore him

[00:06:33] Oh come let us adore him

[00:06:41] Oh come let us adore him

[00:06:50] Christ the Lord

[00:07:03] And now look up into the sky

[00:07:05] Do you see that bright star twinkling in the heavens

[00:07:08] Far away three men are looking at that star just as we are

[00:07:13] They're riding on camels

[00:07:15] And they're using the star as a guide to lead them to the Christ-child

[00:07:21] Who are these three men who follow the star

[00:07:25] We Three Kings of Orient are

[00:07:29] Bearing gifts we traverse afar

[00:07:33] Field and fountain moor and mountain

[00:07:40] Following yonder star

[00:07:49] Yes the three men on the camels are the three wise men

[00:07:53] The new star guides them straight to Bethlehem

[00:07:56] To a little baby lying in a manger

[00:07:59] There the three wise men present gifts to the Christ-child

[00:08:04] The first Christmas gifts ever given to anyone

[00:08:08] A gift of gold of frankincense and of Mir

[00:08:16] And they too fall on their knees to worship him

[00:08:19] And now a great peace settles on the night

[00:08:22] For it is the holy night

[00:08:26] Silent night holy night

[00:08:36] All is calm all is bright

[00:08:47] 'Round yon virgin mother and child

[00:08:56] Holy infant so tender and mild

[00:09:06] Sleep in heavenly peace

[00:09:17] Sleep in heavenly peace

[00:09:29] This is why when we celebrate Christmas

[00:09:30] We think of Bethlehem

[00:09:33] We think of the Virgin Mary

[00:09:36] We think of the three wise men

[00:09:38] And the birth of the Christ-child

[00:09:41] The First Christmas

[00:09:43] Oh come let us adore him

[00:09:50] Christ the Lord
