A long time ago in Bethlehem
So the Holy Bibles say
Mary's boy child, Jesus Christ
Was born on Christmas Day
While shepherds watched their flocks by night
They saw a bright new, shining star
And heard a choir from heaven sing
The music seemed to come from afar
Hark, now hear the angels sing
A new King born today
That man will live forevermore
Because of Christmas Day
Mary's boy child, Mary's boy child
Was born on Christmas Day
Now Joseph and his wife, Mary
Came to Bethlehem that night
And in a stable, cold and dark
The Boy was born of glorious light
Hark, now hear the angels sing
A new King born today
That man will live forevermore
Because of Christmas Day
Mary's boy child, Mary's boy child
Mary's boy child, Jesus Christ
Trumpets sound and angels sing
Listen to what they say
That man will live forevermore
Because of Christmas Day
Hark, now hear the angels sing
A new King born today
That 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
Happy Christmas
Yes He was
Mary's boy child was born on Christmas Day
So the Holy Bibles say
Mary's boy child, Jesus Christ
Was born on Christmas Day
While shepherds watched their flocks by night
They saw a bright new, shining star
And heard a choir from heaven sing
The music seemed to come from afar
Hark, now hear the angels sing
A new King born today
That man will live forevermore
Because of Christmas Day
Mary's boy child, Mary's boy child
Was born on Christmas Day
Now Joseph and his wife, Mary
Came to Bethlehem that night
And in a stable, cold and dark
The Boy was born of glorious light
Hark, now hear the angels sing
A new King born today
That man will live forevermore
Because of Christmas Day
Mary's boy child, Mary's boy child
Mary's boy child, Jesus Christ
Trumpets sound and angels sing
Listen to what they say
That man will live forevermore
Because of Christmas Day
Hark, now hear the angels sing
A new King born today
That 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
Happy Christmas
Yes He was
Mary's boy child was born on Christmas Day
