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

trumpets sound and angels sing

listen what they say

that man will live forevermore

because of christmas day



while shepherds watch their flock by night

they see a bright new shining star

then hear a choir sing

the music seemed to come from afar

now joseph and his wife mary

come to bethleham that night

then find no place to born the child

not a single room was in sight



hark now hear the angels sing

a new king born today

and man will live forevermore

because of christmas day

trumpets sound and angels sing

listen 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 sing

a new king born today

and man will live forevermore

because of christmas day

trumpets sound and angels sing

listen what they say

that man will live forevermore

because of christmas day

hark now hear the angels sing

listen what they say

that man will live forevermore

because of christmas day
