Mary's Boy Child

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 sing, a new king born today
and man will live for ever more, because of christmas day
trumpets sound and angels sing, listen to what they say
that man will live for ever more, because of christmas 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 a far

now joseph and his wife mary
come to bethlehem that night
them find no place to born her 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
