Long time ago in Bethlehem, so the Holy Bible says,
Mary's boy child Jesus Christ, was born on Christmas Day.
Hark, now hear the angels sing, a new king born today,
And man will live for evermore, because of Christmas Day.
While shepherds watch their flocks by night,
They saw a bright new shining star,
And hear a choir from heaven sing, the music came from afar.
Hark, now hear the angels sing, a new king born today,
And man will live for evermore, because of Christmas Day.
Now Joseph and his wife, Mary, came to Bethlehem that night,
They found no place to bear her child, not a single room was in sight.
Hark, now hear the angels sing, a new king born today,
And man will live for evermore, because of Christmas Day.
By and by they found a nook in a stable all forlorn,
And in a manger cold and dark, Mary's little child was born.
Trumpets sound and angels sing
Listen to what they say
That man will live for evermore
Because of Christmas day
Hark, now hear the angels sing, a new king born today,
And man will live for evermore, because of Christmas Day.
And man will live for evermore, because of Christmas Day.
