Long time ago in Bethlehem
So the Holy Bible says
Mary's boy child Jesus Christ
Was born on Christmas Day

Hark, now hear the angels sing
A new king born today
And man will live for evermore
Because of Christmas Day

While shepherds watch their f‌locks by night
They see a brand new shining star
They hear a choir sing a song
The music seemed to come from afar
Now Josef and his wife Mary
They come to Bethlehem that night
They have no room to bear the child
Not a single room was inside

Hark, now hear the angels sing
A new king born today
And man will live for evermore
Because of Christmas Day

Passing by they found a little nook
In a stable all forlorn
And in a manger cold and dark
Mary's little boy was born

Hark, now hear the angels sing
A new king born today
And man will live for evermore
Because of Christmas Day
Trumpets sound, an angel sing
Listen to what they say
And man will live for evermore
Because of Christmas day

This Christmas day
