And Im gonna tell you the most wonderful story in the whole
world,
The Story of the First Christmas!
Now suppose you make believe this is
many, many years ago,
A long time before you were born!
Youre standing on a hillside,
near a little town in Palestine,
Do you see the man in the distance, walking slowly, leading a
donkey?
His name is Joseph!
And riding on the donkey is Mary.
Theyve come a long,
long way,
And theyre heading for the town near the hillside,
On which were standing!
Something very special will happen in this town tonight!
For this is the little town of
Bethlehem!
Oh little town of Bethlehem,
How still we see thee lie,
Above
thy deep and dreamless sleep,
The silent stars go by!
Yet in thy dark streets shineth,
The everlasting light!
The hopes and fears of all the years,
Are met in thee
tonight!
Now lets follow Joseph and Mary into Bethlehem,
Its getting dark and
all the rooms at the Inn are taken,
So they spend the night at a stable.
Now I told you
something special was gonna happen, and it did!
A baby boy is born to Mary,
And they
called him Jesus.
They had no babys crib, so Mary puts little Jesus to sleep,
In the
soft sweet hay of a manger!
Come, come, come to the manger,
Little Lord Jesus is
born on this day!
Now while Jesus lies in the manger asleep,
Lets tiptoe back to
the hillside near Bethlehem,
Where the Shepherds tend their flock.
All at once the
Shepherds are frightened,
Youd be frightened too,
Because a great light suddenly shines
in the sky!
Even the animals are hushed and still,
But then you hear the voice of an
Angel of the Lord!
And youre no longer frightened,
For the Angel brings good news,
News of a Saviour born this day,
News of Christ the Lord!
The First Noel! the
Angels did say,
Was to certain poor Shepherds,
In fields as they lay,
Noel, Noel,
Noel, Noel!
Born is the King of Israel!
Now boys and girls,
Remember, were
still making believe were with the Shepherds and the Angel,
On the hillside near Bethlehem.
The Shepherds ask the Angel,
Where to find the Christ-child ?
And the Angel tells
them to go to the manger.
And as they leave the sky is filled with others Angels singing,
Glory to God! On earth Peace, Goodwill, to Men!
The Shepherds
hurry to the manger,
Fall on their knees before the baby,
And they worship him!
For He is Christ the Lord!
Oh! Come all ye faithful,
Joyful and triumphant!
Oh Come ye, Oh! Come ye, to Bethlehem!
Come and behold Him,
Born the King of
Angels,
Oh! Come let us adore Him,
Oh! Come let us adore Him,
Oh! Come let us
adore Him,
Christ the Lord!
And now, look up into the sky!
See that bright
star twinkling in the heavens ?
Far away, three men are looking at that star just as we are!
Theyre riding on camels,
And theyre using the star as a guide to lead them to the
Christ-child.
Who are these three men who follow the star ?
Lets find out!
We Three Kings of Orient are,
Bearing gifts, we traverse afar,
Field and fountain, moor
and mountain,
Following yonder star!
Thats right boys and girls,
The three
men on the camels are the three wise men,
The new star guides them to Bethlehem,
To a
little baby lying in a manger!
There the three wise men present gifts to the Christ-child,
The first Christmas gifts ever given to anyone,
A gift of gold, of frankincense, and of
Mir!
The wise men fall on their knees to worship Him,
A great peace settles on the
night,
For its the Holy Night!
Silent night, holy night,
All is calm, all
is bright,
Round yon virgin mother and child,
Holy infant so tender and mild!
Sleep in heavenly peace,
Sleep in heavenly peace!
When we celebrate Christmas,
Think of Bethlehem, the Virgin Mary, the three wise men,
And the birth of the
Christ-child!
The First Christmas!
Oh! Come let us adore Him,
Christ the
Lord!
