Perry Como "First Christmas" Special Release

The First Noël ~ 1950 Version Lyrics
 
The First Noël, the Angels did say,
Was to certain poor Shepherds,
In fields as they lay.
Noël, Noël, Noël, Noël!
Born is the King of Israel!
 
The Shepherds hurry to the manger, fall on their knees before the baby, and they worship him! For He is Christ the Lord!
 
Chorus and Orchestra under the direction of Mitchell Ayres.
 
Adapted by John A. Richards
with musical arrangements by Mitchell Ayres
Narration with Christmas carols:
O Little Town of Bethlehem;
Come, Come, Come to the Manger; The First Noël;
O Come All Ye Faithful;
We Three Kings of Orient Are; Silent Night
