Long time ago in Bethlehem,
So the Holy Bible say,
Mary's boy child Jesus Christ
Was born on Christmas day.
While shepherds watched their flocks by night,
They saw a bright new shining star.
Then heard a choir from heaven sing,
The music came from a - far
Hark, now hear the angels sing,
A new king born to - day.
And man will live for evermore
Be - cause of Christmas day!
Joseph and his wife Mary
Came to Bethlehem that night
And found no place to bear the child
Not a single room was in sight
By and by they found a little nook
In a stable all for - lorn
And in a manger cold and dark
Mary's little baby was born
Trumpets sound and angels sing
Listen to what they say
That man will live for evermore
Be - cause of Christmas day!
Trumpets sound and angels sing
Listen to what they say
That man will live for evermo -oo - oo - oore
Be - cause of Christmas day!//
