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
|
New king's 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 the child
|
Not a single room was in sight
|
|
By and by 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
|
New king's born today
|
And man will live for evermore
|
Because of Christmas Day
|
|
While shepherds
|
Watched their flocks by night
|
They saw a bright new shining star
|
And heard the choir from heaven sing
|
The music seemed to come from afar
|
|
Trumpets sound and angels sing,
|
Listen to what they say
|
That man will live for evermore
|
Because of Christmas Day
|
