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 for evermore
|
Because of Christmas Day.
|
|
Trumpets sound and angels sing
|
Listen what they say
|
That man will live for evermore
|
Because of Christmas Day.
|
|
While Shepherds watched their flock by night
|
They see a bright new star
|
Then hear a choir of angels sing
|
Music seems to come from a far.
|
|
Now Joseph and his wife Mary
|
Come to Bethlehem that night
|
They find no place to lay the child
|
Not a single room was in sight.
|
|
Hark now hear the angels sing
|
A new King's born today
|
And man will live for evermore
|
Because of Christmas Day.
|
|
Trumpets sound and angels sing
|
Listen what they say
|
That man will live for evermore
|
Because of Christmas Day.
|
|
By and by they find a little nook
|
In a stable so forlorned
|
In a manger cold and dark
|
Mary's little boy was born.
|
|
Hark now hear the angels sing
|
A new King's born today
|
And man will live for evermore
|
Because of Christmas Day.
|
|
Trumpets sound and angels sing
|
Listen what they say
|
That man will live for evermore
|
Because of Christmas Day...
