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 born today.
And man will live forevermore
Because of Christmas Day.
While shepherds watch their flocks by night,
They see a bright new shining star.
They hear a cho-ir sing, the
Music seemed to come from afar.
Hark, now hear the angels sing,
A new King born today.
And man will live forevermore
Because of Christmas Day.
Now Joseph and his wife, Mary,
Come to Bethlehem that night.
They find no place to bear the child,
Not a single room was in sight.
Trumpets sound and angels sing,
A new King born today.
And 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.
Trumpets sound and angels sing,
A new King born today.
And man will live forevermore
Because of Christmas Day.
