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's born today
And man will live forevermore
because of Christmas Day
While shepherds watched
their flock by night
They saw a bright
new shining star
And heard a choir
from heaven sing
The music came from afar
Hark now hear the angels sing
A new king's born today
And man will live forevermore
because of Christmas Day
Now Joseph
and his wife Mary
came to Bethlehem that night
They found no place
to bear her child
Not a single room
was in sight
By and by
They found a little nook
in a stable all forlorn
And in a manger
cold and dark
Mary's little boy child
was born
Trumpets sound
And angels sing
Listen to what they say
That man will live
forevermore
because of Christmas day
