Lyrics
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 ever more
Because of Christmas day
While shepherds watch their flocks by night
Saw a bright new shining star
And heard a choir sing, the music
Seemed to come from afar
Now Joseph and his wife Mary
Came to Bethlehem that night
And found no place to bear a child
Not a single room was in sight
Hark now hear the angels sing
A new king born today
And man will live for ever more
Because of Christmas day
By and by they found a little nook
In a stable all forlorn
And in a manger cold and dark
Mary's little boy was born
Trumpets sound and angels sing
Listen to what they say
That man will live for ever more
Because of Christmas day
Hark now hear the angels sing
A new king born today
And man will live for ever more
Because of Christmas day
Yes, man will live for ever more
Because of Christmas day
