LONG TIME AGO IN BETHLEHEM

SO THE HOLY BIBLE SAY

MARY'S BOY CHILD, JESUS CHRIST

WAS BORN ON CHRISTMAS DAY

CHORUS:

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
