Long time ago in Bethleheme
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 forever more
Because of Christmas day

While shepherds watched their flocks by night
They see a bright new shining star
They hear a choir sing a song
The music seems to come from afar

Now Joseph and his wife Mary
They come to Bethlehem that night
They have no room to bear the child
Not a single room was in sight

Hark, now hear the angels sing
A new King born today
And man will live forever 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

Hark, now hear the angels sing
A new King born today
And man will live forever more
Because of Christmas day

Trumpets sound and angels sing
Listen to what they say
And then we live for evermore
Because of Christmas Day

The Christmas Day
