The Story of the First Christmas - Perry Como[00:00:03]
This is Perry Como[00:00:30]
And I'd like to tell you the most wonderful [00:00:31]
The most beautiful [00:00:33]
The most exciting story in the whole world [00:00:35]
The Story of the First Christmas [00:00:39]
Now suppose you make believe[00:00:44]
This is many many years ago [00:00:45]
A long time before you were born [00:00:47]
You're standing on a hillside [00:00:50]
Near a little town in Palestine [00:00:51]
Do you see the man in the distance [00:00:55]
Walking slowly leading a donkey [00:00:56]
His name is Joseph [00:01:00]
Someone is sitting on the back of the donkey [00:01:03]
And her name is Mary [00:01:06]
They've come a long long way [00:01:09]
And they're heading for a little town near the hillside [00:01:11]
On which we're standing [00:01:14]
Something very special will happen[00:01:16]
In this little town tonight [00:01:19]
For this is the little town of Bethlehem [00:01:21]
Oh little town of Bethlehem [00:01:32]
How still we see thee lie [00:01:39]
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep [00:01:45]
The silent stars go by [00:01:51]
Yet in thy dark streets shineth [00:01:59]
The everlasting light [00:02:05]
The hopes and fears of all the years [00:02:11]
Are met in thee tonight [00:02:18]
Let's follow Joseph and Mary[00:02:32]
Into the town of Bethlehem [00:02:34]
It's getting dark and all of[00:02:37]
The rooms at the Inn are taken [00:02:38]
But the kindly Innkeeper tells them[00:02:40]
They could spend the night at a stable nearby [00:02:42]
Now I told you something was gonna happen [00:02:46]
And it did [00:02:49]
A baby boy is born to Mary and Joseph [00:02:50]
Whom they call Jesus [00:02:53]
They have no baby's crib [00:02:56]
So Mary puts little Jesus to sleep [00:02:57]
In the soft sweet hay of a manger [00:03:00]
Come come come to the manger [00:03:04]
Children sing and asleep on the hay [00:03:08]
Sing sing chorus of Angels [00:03:13]
Little Lord Jesus is born on this day [00:03:19]
Jesus is asleep in the manger [00:03:30]
So let's tiptoe out to the hillside near Bethlehem [00:03:32]
Where the Shepherds are tending their flock [00:03:35]
All at once the Shepherds are frightened [00:03:39]
You'd be frightened too [00:03:41]
Because a great light suddenly shines in the sky [00:03:42]
Even the animals are hushed and still [00:03:50]
But then you hear the voice of an Angel of the Lord [00:03:53]
And you're no longer frightened [00:04:02]
For the Angel brings good news [00:04:04]
News of a Saviour born this day [00:04:06]
News of Christ the Lord [00:04:09]
The First Noel the Angels did say [00:04:15]
Was to certain poor Shepherds [00:04:22]
In fields as they lay in fields where they [00:04:27]
Lay keeping their sheep [00:04:33]
On a cold winter's night that was so deep [00:04:37]
Noel Noel Noel Noel [00:04:45]
Born is the King of Israel [00:04:54]
Well we're still with the Shepherds [00:05:09]
On the hillside near Bethlehem [00:05:10]
We hear the Shepherds ask the Angel [00:05:13]
Where to find the Christ-child [00:05:15]
And the Angel tells them to go to the manger [00:05:17]
And as they leave the sky is filled with[00:05:22]
Other Angels singing [00:05:23]
Glory to God And on Earth Peace Goodwill to Men [00:05:25]
The Shepherds hurry to the manger [00:05:39]
Fall on their knees before the baby [00:05:41]
And they worship him [00:05:43]
For He is Christ the Lord [00:05:45]
Oh Come all ye faithful [00:05:51]
Joyful and triumphant [00:05:57]
Oh Come ye Oh Come ye to Bethlehem [00:06:03]
Come and behold Him [00:06:16]
Born the King of Angels [00:06:21]
Oh Come let us adore Him [00:06:27]
Oh Come let us adore Him [00:06:34]
Oh Come let us adore Him [00:06:42]
Christ the Lord [00:06:50]
And now look up into the sky [00:07:04]
Do you see that bright star[00:07:05]
Twinkling in the heavens [00:07:06]
Far away three men are looking at[00:07:09]
That star just as we are [00:07:10]
They're riding on camels [00:07:13]
And they're using the star as a guide[00:07:15]
To lead them to the Christ-child [00:07:17]
Who are these three men who follow the star [00:07:21]
We Three Kings of Orient are [00:07:26]
Bearing gifts we traverse afar [00:07:30]
Field and fountain moor and mountain [00:07:34]
Following yonder star [00:07:41]
Yes the three men on the camels[00:07:50]
Are the three wise men [00:07:52]
The new star guides them straight to Bethlehem [00:07:54]
To a little baby lying in a manger [00:07:56]
There the three wise men present[00:08:00]
Gifts to the Christ-child [00:08:01]
The first Christmas gifts ever given to anyone [00:08:04]
A gift of gold of frankincense and of Mir [00:08:08]
And they too fall on their knees to worship Him [00:08:16]
And now a great peace settles on the night [00:08:19]
For it is the Holy Night [00:08:23]
Silent night holy night [00:08:27]
All is calm all is bright [00:08:37]
Round yon virgin mother and child [00:08:48]
Holy infant so tender and mild [00:08:57]
Sleep in heavenly peace [00:09:07]
Sleep in heavenly peace [00:09:17]
This is why when we celebrate Christmas [00:09:29]
We think of Bethlehem [00:09:31]
We think of the Virgin Mary [00:09:33]
We think of the three wise men [00:09:36]
And the birth of the Christ-child [00:09:38]
The First Christmas [00:09:41]
Oh Come let us adore Him [00:09:43]
Christ the Lord[00:09:51]
