Mary’s Boy Child

Long time ago in Bethlehem, so the Holy Bible said

Mary's boy child Jesus Christ, was born on Christmas Day

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

And man will live for evermore, because of Christmas Day

Mary's boy child Jesus Christ, was born on Christmas Day

While shepherds watch their flocks by night

They see a bright new shining star

They hear a choir sing a song, the music seemed to come from afar

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

And man will live for evermore, because of Christmas Day

For a moment the world was aglow, all the bells rang out

There were tears of joy and laughter, people shouted

"Let everyone know, there is hope for all to find peace"

Now Joseph and his wife, Mary, came to Bethlehem that night

They found no place to bear her child, not a single room was in sight

And then they found 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 king was born today

And man will live for evermore, because of Christmas Day

Mary's boy child Jesus Christ, was born on Christmas Day

Oh a moment still worth was a glow, all the bells rang out

There were tears of joy and laughter, people shouted

"Let everyone know, there is hope for all to find peace"
