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,
New King was born today,
And man will live forever more,
Because of Christmas Day.
While shepherds watched their flocks by night, they saw a bright, new shining star,
And heard a choir from Heaven sing, the music came from afar.
Hark now hear the angels sing,
New King was born today,
And man will live forever more,
Because of Christmas Day.
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.
By and by, they found a little nook in a stable all forlorn,
And in a manger, cold and dark, Mary's little boy child was born.
Trumpet sound and angels sing,
Listen to what they say,
"That man will live forever more,
Because of Christmas Day."
