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's born today. And man will live forevermore, Because of Christmas Day. Trumpets sound, the angels sing, Listen to what they say, And man will live forevermore, Because of Christmas Day. While shepherds watched their flocks by night, They saw a bright new shining star, And heard a choir from heaven sing, Their music came 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 inside. Hark, now hear the angels sing, A new King's born today. And man will live forevermore, Because of Christmas Day. Trumpets sound, the angels sing, Listen to what they say, And man will live forevermore, Because of Christmas Day. By and by they found a little nook, In a stable all forlorn, And in a manger cold and dark, Mary's little boy child 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's born today. And man will live forevermore, Because of Christmas Day. Trumpets sound, the angels sing, Listen to what they say, And man will live forevermore, Because of Christmas Day. Because of Christmas Day.
