Mary's Boy Child

Long time ago in Bethlehem, so the Holy Bible say
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
Trumpets sound and angels sing, listen to what they say
That man will live for evermore, because of Christmas Day

While shepherds watch their flock by night, they see a bright new shining star
They hear a choir sing, the music seemed to come from afar
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
Trumpets sound and Angels sing, listen to what they say
That man will live for evermore, because of Christmas Day

By and by they find a little nook, in a stable all forlorn
And in a manger cold and dark, Mary's little boy was born
Long time ago in Bethlehem, so the Holy Bible say
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
Trumpets sound and Angels sing, listen to what they say
That man will live for evermore, because of Christmas Day
