Long time ago in Bethlehem

So the Holy Bibles say

Mary's boy child Jesus Christ

Was born on Chri-istmas Day



Hark, now hear the angels sing

A new king born today

And man will live for evermore

Because of Chri-istmas Day



While shepherds watched their flocks by night

They saw a bright new shining star

They heard a choir sing

The music seemed to come from afar



Now Joseph and his wife, Mary

Came to Bethlehem that night

They found no place to bear the child

Not a single room was in sight



Trumpets sound and angels sing

Listen to what they say

And man will live for evermore

Because of Chri-istmas 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



Hark, now hear the angels sing

A new king born today

And man will live for evermore

Because of Chri-istmas Day



Trumpets sound and angels sing

Listen to what they say

And man will live for evermore

Because - of - Chri-istmas - Day...
