Mary's Boy Child
??? 1 long time ago in Bethlehem
So the Holy Bible say
Mary's boy child Jesus Christ
Was born on Christmas Day
Chor Hark now hear the angels sing
A new king born today
And Man will live for evermore
Because of Christmas Day
Chor Trumpets sound and angels sing
Listen to what they say
And man will live for evermore
Because of Christmas Day
??? 2 Now Joseph and his wife, Mary
Come to Bethlehem that night
They find no place to born her child
Not a single room was in sight
Chor By and by they find a little nook
In a stable all forlorn
And in a manger cold and dark
Mary's Holy boy was born
Chor Hark now hear the angels sing
A new king born today
And Man will live for evermore
Because of Christmas Day
Chor Trumpets sound and angels sing
Listen to what they say
And man will live for evermore
Because of Christmas Day
??? 1 long time ago in Bethlehem
So the Holy Bible say
Mary's boy child Jesus Christ
Was born on Christmas Day
Chor Hark now hear the angels sing
A new king born today
And Man will live for evermore
Because of Christmas Day
Chor Trumpets sound and angels sing
Listen to what they say
And man will live for evermore
Because of Christmas Day
??? 2 Man will live for evermore
Because of Christmas Day
