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’s born today,
And man will live for evermore
Because of Christmas Day.
While shepherds watched their flocks by night
They saw a bright new shining star
And heard a choir from Heaven sing,
The music came from afar.
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.
By and by they found a little nook
In a stable all forlorn,
And in a manger, cold and dark,
Mary’s little boy-child was born.
