[Verse 1]
Long time ago in Bethlehem
So the Holy Bible said
Mary's boy child, Jesus Christ
Was born on Christmas day
[Verse 2]
Hark, now hear the angels sing
A new King born today
And man will live forevermore
Because of Christmas day
[Verse 3]
Trumpets sound and angels sing
Listen to what they say
That man will live forevermore
Because of Christmas day
[Verse 4]
While shepherds watch their flocks by night
They see a bright new shining star
They hear a choir sing the news
That seemed to come from afar
[Verse 5]
Now Joseph and his wife Mary
Come to Bethlehem that night
They find no place to born the child
Not a single room was in sight
[Verse 6]
Hark, now hear the angels sing
A new King born today
And man will live forevermore
Because of Christmas day
[Verse 7]
Trumpets sound and angels sing
Listen to what they say
That man will live forevermore
Because of Christmas day
[Verse 8]
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
[Verse 9]
Long time ago in Bethlehem
So the Holy Bible said
Mary's boy child, Jesus Christ
Was born on Christmas day
[Verse 10]
Hark, now hear the angels sing
A new King born today
That man will live forevermore
Because of Christmas day
[Verse 11]
Trumpets sound and angels sing
Listen to what they say
That man will live forevermore
Because of Christmas day
[Verse 12]
Trumpets sound and angels sing
Listen to what they say
That man will live forevermore
Because of Christmas day
