Lyrics
Long time ago in Bethlehem
So the Holy Bible says
"Mary's boy child Jesus Christ
Was born on Christmas day"
Hark, now hear the angels sing
New king's born today
And man will live forevermore
Because of Christmas day
Now Joseph and his wife, Mary
Came to Bethlehem that night
They found no place to bear her child
Not a single room in sight
By and by, they found a nook
In a stable all forlorn
And in a manger cold and dark
Mary's little boy child was born
Hark, now hear the angels sing
A new king's born today
And man will live for evermore
Because of Christmas day
While shepherds watched their flocks by night
They saw a bright new star
And heard the choir from Heaven sing
The music came from afar
Trumpets sound and angels sing
Listen to what they say
That man will live forevermore
Because of Christmas day
Yes, man will live forevermore
Because of Christmas day
Writer(s): Jester J. Hairston
