Narration |
Silent Night — that means Christmas to some people |
Here comes Santa Claus here comes Santa Claus |
That means Christmas to some people |
A lot of people from different parts of the country and all over the world |
Have different ways of celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ |
The prophets of old had foretold of his comin' for four thousand years |
And a lot of people say that the wise men from the East were probably |
astronomers |
That may have studied the stars and knew that the new star that was gonna |
To appear in the East the time of it was at hand |
A lot of others of course say that they were told by God |
That the star was about to appear so they could begin their long journey |
From the East and where was the East |
Some people say it could have been India some people speculate |
That one of the wise men came from as far away as Korea all away cross Asia |
And he must have been a comin' for many months maybe |
Maybe even years to get to the place where that new star |
That was to hang over that manger in the town of Bethlehem |
Ten miles from Jerusalem |
Whatever the shepherds came in from the fields |
And you know it’s really somethin' that a shepherd would leave his flock |
To come in for anything because that was really about a crime for a man to do |
That was shepherd to leave his flock of sheep |
And come in for anything because the sheep were man’s lively hood |
The milk and the meat and the wool for the clothing |
It really took something for a shepherd to leave a flock |
And there were a lot of 'em that did it and came in to worship the new baby |
Jesus That was born in the manger |
The wise men came bearing gifts of gold frankincense and myrrh |
And they brought them and laid them at the foot of the manger where Jesus lay |
And you know the voice of God so the scriptures say |
According to the scriptures had been silent for four hundred years |
There had not been a divinely inspired prophet for four hundred years |
And all of a sudden you can imagine what kind of night it must have been |
For a new star to suddenly appear out of the heavens |
And shepherds to leave their flock and men |
Wealthy lookin' strangers come in from the East |
And all of a sudden on top of all that a heavenly choir to start to singin' |
Singin' voices from heaven, singing words that they understood |
Words like peace on Earth good will to men — what a night it must have been |
