The Story Of The First Christmas - Perry Como[00:00:00]
This is Perry Como[00:00:30]
And I'd like to tell you the most wonderful the most beautiful[00:00:30]
The most exciting story in the whole world[00:00:34]
The story of the First Christmas[00:00:38]
Now suppose you make believe this is many many years ago[00:00:44]
A long time before you were born[00:00:46]
You're standing on a hillside near a little town in Palestine[00:00:49]
Do you see the man in the distance walking slowly leading a donkey[00:00:54]
His name is Joseph[00:01:00]
Someone is sitting on the back of the donkey[00:01:02]
And her name is Mary[00:01:05]
They've come a long long way[00:01:08]
And they're heading for a little town near the hillside[00:01:11]
On which we're standing[00:01:13]
Something very special will happen in this little town tonight[00:01:16]
For this is the little town of Bethlehem[00:01:20]
Oh little town of Bethlehem[00:01:32]
How still we see thee lie[00:01:38]
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep[00:01:44]
The silent stars go by[00:01:51]
Yet in thy dark streets shineth[00:01:58]
The everlasting light[00:02:04]
The hopes and fears of all the years[00:02:10]
Are met in thee tonight[00:02:18]
Let's follow Joseph and Mary into the town of Bethlehem[00:02:32]
It's getting dark and all of the rooms at the Inn are taken[00:02:36]
But the kindly Innkeeper tells them[00:02:39]
They could spend the night at a stable nearby[00:02:41]
Now I told you something was gonna happen and it did[00:02:46]
A baby boy is born to Mary and Joseph[00:02:50]
Whom they call Jesus[00:02:52]
They have no baby's crib so Mary puts little Jesus to sleep[00:02:56]
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[00:03:31]
Where the Shepherds are tending their flock[00:03:35]
All at once the Shepherds are frightened[00:03:38]
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[00:03:49]
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[00:04:03]
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[00:04:14]
Was to certain poor Shepherds[00:04:22]
In fields as they lay in fields where they[00:04:25]
Lay keeping their sheep[00:04:33]
On a cold winter's night that was so deep[00:04:36]
Noel Noel Noel Noel[00:04:44]
Born is the King of Israel[00:04:53]
Well we're still with the Shepherds[00:05:08]
On the hillside near Bethlehem[00:05:09]
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 other Angels singing[00:05:21]
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[00:05:40]
And they worship him[00:05:42]
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[00:06:02]
Come and behold him[00:06:15]
Born the King of Angels[00:06:20]
Oh come let us adore him[00:06:26]
Oh come let us adore him[00:06:33]
Oh come let us adore him[00:06:41]
Christ the Lord[00:06:50]
And now look up into the sky[00:07:03]
Do you see that bright star twinkling in the heavens[00:07:05]
Far away three men are looking at that star just as we are[00:07:08]
They're riding on camels[00:07:13]
And they're using the star as a guide to lead them to the Christ-child[00:07:15]
Who are these three men who follow the star[00:07:21]
We Three Kings of Orient are[00:07:25]
Bearing gifts we traverse afar[00:07:29]
Field and fountain moor and mountain[00:07:33]
Following yonder star[00:07:40]
Yes the three men on the camels are the three wise men[00:07:49]
The new star guides them straight to Bethlehem[00:07:53]
To a little baby lying in a manger[00:07:56]
There the three wise men present gifts to the Christ-child[00:07:59]
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[00:08:22]
Silent night holy night[00:08:26]
All is calm all is bright[00:08:36]
'Round yon virgin mother and child[00:08:47]
Holy infant so tender and mild[00:08:56]
Sleep in heavenly peace[00:09:06]
Sleep in heavenly peace[00:09:17]
This is why when we celebrate Christmas[00:09:29]
We think of Bethlehem[00:09:30]
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[00:09:50]
