Long time ago in Bethlehem, so the Holy Bible says,
Mary`s boychild, Jesus Christ, was born on Christmas Day.
Hark now! Hear the Angels sing, a King was born today,
and man will live forever more because of Christmas Day.
While shepherds watch their flocks by night,
they see a bright new shining star.
They hear a choir sing a song,
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.
And then they found 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...listen to what they say,
that man will live forever more because of Christmas Day.
