Long time ago in Bethlehem
So the Holy Bible say
Mary's boy child, Jesus Christ
Was born on Christmas DayHark, now hear the angels sing
A new King born today
And man will live forever more
Because of Christmas DayWhile shepherds watched their flocks by night
Them see a bright new shining star
Them hear a choir sing
The music seemed to come from afarNow Joseph and his wife Mary
Come to Bethlehem that night
Them find no place to born she child
Not a single room was in sightHark, now hear the angels sing
A new King born today
And man will live forever more
Because of Christmas DayBy and by they find a little nook
In a stable all forlorn
And in a manger cold and dark
Mary's little boy was bornHark, now here the angels sings
A new King born today
And man will live forever more
Because of Christmas DayTrumpets sound and angels sing
Listen to what they say
That man will live forever more
Because of Christmas Day
