Long time ago in Bethlehem
So the Holy Bible says
Mary's boy child, Jesus Christ
Was born on Christmas day
Chorus
Hark, now hear the angels sing
A King was born today
And man will live forevermore
Because of Christmas day
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
They heard a choir sing
The music seemed to come from a-far
Chorus
For a moment the world was aglow
All the bells rang out
There were tears of joy and laughter
People shouted let everyone know
There is hope for all to find peace
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
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
