Long time ago in Bethlehem
so the Holy Bible said
Mary's boy child Jesus Christ
was born on Christmas Day
Hark now hear the angels sing
a king was born today
And man will live for evermore
because of Christmas Day
Mary's boy child Jesus Christ
was born on Christmas Day
While shepherds watch their flocks by night
they see a bright new shining star
they hear a choir sing a song
the music seemed to come from afar
Hark now hear the angels sing
a king was born today
And man will live for evermore
because of Christmas Day
Oh a moment still worth was a glow all the bells rang out
there were tears of joy and laughter people shouted
let everyone know there is hope for all to find peace
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
And then they found a little nook
in a stable all forlorn
and in a manger cold and dark
Mary's little boy was born
Hark now hear the angels sing
a king was born today
And man will live for evermore
because of Christmas Day
Mary's boy child Jesus Christ
was born on Christmas Day
Oh a moment still worth was a glow all the bells rang out
there were tears of joy and laughter people shouted
let everyone know there is hope for all to find peace
Oh my Lord
