Long time ago in Bethlehem, so the Holy Bible said

Mary's boy child Jesus Christ, was born on Chri-istmas Day



While shepherds watch their flocks by night

Them see a bright new shining star

Them hear a choir sing, the music seemed to come from afar



Hark, now hear the angels sing, a new king born today

And man will live for evermore, because of Chri-istmas Day



(Now hear the) trumpets sound and angels sing

Listen to what they say

That man will live for evermore, because of Chri-istmas Day

(Because of Christmas Day)



Now Joseph and his wife, Mary, come to Bethlehem that night

Them find no place to born the child, not a single room was in sight



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



Hark, now hear the angels sing, a new king born today

And man will live for evermore, because of Chri-istmas Day



(Now hear the) trumpets sound and angels sing

Listen to what they say

That man will live for evermore, because of Chri-istmas Day

Because of Chri-istmas Day

(Because of Christmas Day ...)
