Long time ago in Bethlehem so the Holy Bible say Mary's boy child Jesus Christ was born on Christmas Day
[Chorus] Hark now hear the angels sing a new King's born today That man will live for evermore because of Christmas Day Trumpets sound and angels sing listen what they say That man will live for evermore because of Christmas Day
While shepherds watched their flock by night they see a bright New star Then hear a choir of angels sing music seems to come from a Far
Now Joseph and his wife Mary come to Bethlehem that night They found no place to lay the child not a single room was in Sight
[Chorus]
By and by they found a little nook in a stable all forlorned In a manger cold and dark Mary's little boy was born
