Long time ago in Bethlehem so the Holy Bible said 
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 seemed 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 aglow 
All the bells rang out there were tears of joy and laughter 
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 
And then they found a little nook in a stable all forlorn 
And in a manger cold and dark Mary's little boy was born 
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 
For a moment the world was aglow 
All the bells rang out there were tears of joy and laughter 
People shouted let everyone know 
There is hope for all to find peace 
Oh My Lord You sent Your son to save us 
Oh My Lord Your very self You gave us 
Oh My Lord that sin may not enslave us and love may reign once more 
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 with a just adulation 
Oh My Lord there came great jubilation 
Oh My Lord and full of admiration they realized what they had 
Oh My Lord you sent your son to save us 
Oh My Lord your very self you gave us oh may lord
