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 born today

and man will live forevermore
because of christmas day
trumpets sound and angels sing

listen what they say
that man will live forevermore
because of christmas day


while shepherds watch their flock by night
they see a bright new shining star

then hear a choir sing
the music seemed to come from afar
now joseph and his wife mary

come to bethleham that night
then find no place to born the child
not a single room was in sight


hark now hear the angels sing
a new king born today

and man will live forevermore
because of christmas day
trumpets sound and angels sing

listen what they say
that man will live forevermore
because of christmas day


by and by they find a little nook
in a stable all forlorn

and in a manger cold and dark
mary's little boy was born


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 born today
and man will live forevermore
because of christmas day

trumpets sound and angels sing
listen what they say
that man will live forevermore

because of christmas day
hark now hear the angels sing
listen what they say

that man will live forevermore
because of christmas day
