Long time ago in Bethlehem,
So the Holy Bible said,
Mary's boy child, Jesus Christ,
Was born on Christmas day.
While shepherds watched their flocks by night,
They saw a bright new shining star,
They hear a choir sing a song,
The music seemed to come from a far.
Now Joseph and his wife Mary,
Came to Bethlehem that night,
They found no place to bear her child,
Not a single room was inside.
And then they found a little nook
In a stable long for lorn,
And in a manger old and dark,
Mary's little boy was born.
Hark, now hear the angels sing,
A king was born today,
And man will live forever more,
Because of Christmas Day.
