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 singing
A new King born today
And men will live, forever more
Because of Christmas day
While shepherds watched their flock by night
Them see a bright new shining star
Then hear a choir sing
The music seemed to come from afar
Now Joseph and his wife Mary
Come to Bethlehem that night
Them find no place to born she Child
Not a single room was in sight
Hark now hear the angels singing
A new King born today
And men will live, forever more
Because of Christmas day
And men will live, forever more
Because of Christmas day
I'm bide them find a little look
In a stable all for lorn
And in a manger, cold and dark
Mary's little Boy was born
Hark now hear the angels singing
A new King born today
And men will live, forever more
Because of Christmas day
Hark now hear the angels singing
A new King born today
And men will live, forever more
Because of Christmas day
