(chorus)
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 to what they say
That Man will live forevermore
Because of Christmas day

(verse 1)
Now, Joseph and his wife, Mary
Come to bethlehem that night
They found no place to bear her child
Not a single room was in sight

(verse 2)
By and by, they find a little nook
In a stable all forlorn
And in a manger cold and dark
Mary's litlle Boy was born!
(verse 3)
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 afar

.(end song with a full repeat of chorus)
