Verse 1

Long time ago in Bethlehem
So the Holy Bible said
Mary's boy child Jesus Christ
Was born on Christmas Day

Chorus 1

Hark now hear the angels sing
A new king was born today
And man will live forevermore
Because of Christmas Day

Verse 2

While shepherds watch their flocks by night
They see a bright new shining star
They heard a choir sing a song
The music seemed to come from afar

Verse 3

Now Joseph and his wife Mary
Came to Bethlehem that night
They found no place to bear a child
Not a single room was in sight

Chorus 1

Hark now hear the angels sing
A new king was born today
And man will live forevermore
Because of Christmas Day

Chorus 2

Trumpets sound and angels sing
Listen to what they say
That man will live forevermore
Because of Christmas day

Verse 4

And they found a little nook
In a stable all forlorn
And in a manger cold and dark
Mary's little boy was born

Chorus 1

Hark now hear the angels sing
A new king was born today
And man will live forevermore
Because of Christmas Day
