Mary's boy child Jesus Christ
Was born on Christmas Day
And man will live for evermore
Because of Christmas Day
Long time ago in Bethlehem
So the Holy Bible says
Mary's boy child Jesus Christ
Was born on Christmas Day
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
While shepherds watch their flock by night
They see a bright new shining star
They hear a choir sing a song
The music seems to come from afar
Hark, now hear the angels sing
A king was born today
And man will live for evermore
Because of Christmas Day
For a moment the world was a glow
All the bells rang out
There were tears of joy and laughter
A people shouted "Let everyone know, there is hope for all to find peace"
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
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
Oh a moment still worth was a glow
All the bells rang out
There were tears of joy and laughter
And people shouted "Let everyone know, there is hope for all to find peace"
Oh my Lord, when in the crib they found him
Oh my Lord, a golden halo crowned him
Oh my Lord, they gathered all around him
To see him and adore
Oh my Lord, they had become to doubt you
Oh my Lord, what did they know about you?
Oh my Lord, but they were lost without you
They realized what they had (Until the sun falls from the sky)
Oh my Lord, you sent your son to save us (Oh praise the lord)
Oh my Lord, your very self you gave us (This day will live forever)
Oh my Lord, that sin may not enslave us (So praise the lord)
And love may reign once more
