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:
"New king's 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 star
And hear a choir sing a song
Music seems to come from afar
Now Joseph and his wife Mary
Come to Bethlehem that night
They find no place to lay her child
Not a single room was in sight
Hark, now hear the angels sing:
"New king's 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 found a little nook
In a stable's all forlorn
And in a manger so cold and dark
Mary's little boy was born
Hark, now hear the angels sing:
"A new king's 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
