First Christmas Bell

FIRST CHRISTMAS BELL

CHORUS
The first Christmas Bell..... rang out, the world to tell
That in a stable in Bethlehem was born the Savior of man
VERSE
Two thousand years ago, a couple stopped for the night
And in the Eastern sky, there came a Heavenly light
It shone upon their resting place, a primitive stable forlorn
And lit up the little manger, where the Christ Child was born
REPEAT CHORUS
VERSE
The Blessed Mother nourished the child she beheld with joy
The Earthly Father smiled with pride at his precious baby boy
The beasts in the stable gathered round, their mute voices could not tell
But round the neck of an honored lamb hung the First Christmas Bell
REPEAT CHORUS
