Mary's Boy Child

Long time ago in Bethlehem, so the Holy Bible said

Mary`s boy child Jesus Christ, was born on Chri-istmas

Day

While shepherds watch their flocks by night

Them see a bright new shining star

Them hear a choir sing, the music seemed to come from

afar

Hark, now hear the angels sing, a new king born today

And man will live for evermore, because of Chri-istmas

Day

(Now hear the) trumpets sound and angels sing

Listen to what they say

That man will live for evermore, because of Chri-istmas

Day

(Because of Christmas Day)

Now Joseph and his wife, Mary, come to Bethlehem that

night

Them find no place to born the child, not a single room

was in sight

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

Hark, now hear the angels sing, a new king born today

And man will live for evermore, because of Chri-istmas

Day

(Now hear the) trumpets sound and angels sing

Listen to what they say

That man will live for evermore, because of Chri-istmas

Day

Because of Chri-istmas Day

(Because of Christmas Day ...)
