Mary's Boy Child

1. Long time ago in Bethlehem,
   so the Holy Bible said,
   Mary's boy child Jesus Christ,
   was born on Christmas Day.
   
   
   Refrain
   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.
   
   
   
2. 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.
   
   
   Refrain
   
   
   
3. 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.
   
   
   Refrain
   
   
   
4. And by and by they found a little nook
   in a stable all forlorn,
   and in a manger cold and dark,
   Mary's little boy was born.
   
   
   Refrain
