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 singing
|
A newborn King today
|
And man will live forevermore
|
Because of Christmas day
|
Trumpets sound and angels singing
|
Listen to what they say
|
That Man will live forevermore
|
Because of Christmas day
|
|
While shepherds watch their flock by night
|
Then see a bright new shining star
|
Then hear a choir sing
|
Her music seemed to come from afar
|
|
Now, Joseph and his wife, Mary
|
Come to bethlehem that night
|
Then find no place to born she child
|
Not a single room was in sight
|
|
Hark, now hear the angels singing
|
A newborn King today
|
And man will live forevermore
|
Because of Christmas day
|
Trumpets sound and angels singing
|
Listen to what they say
|
That Man will live forevermore
|
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 singing
|
A newborn King today
|
And man will live forevermore
|
Because of Christmas day
|
Trumpets sound and angels singing
|
Listen to what they say
|
That Man will live forevermore
|
Because of Christmas day
|
