Long time ago in Bethlehem,
so the Holy Bible says,  
Mary's boychild, Jesus Christ,
was born on Christmas Day.

Hark now! Hear the Angels sing,
a King was born today,
and man will live forever more
because of Christmas Day.

While shepherds watch their flocks by night,
they see a bright new shining star.
They hear a choir sing a song,  
the music seemed to come from afar.

Now Joseph and his wife, Mary,
came to Bethlehem that night.
They found no place to bear the child,  
not a single room was in sight.

Trumpets sound and Angels sing...
listen to what they say,
that man will live forever more
because of Christmas Day.

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.

Long time ago in Bethlehem,
so the Holy Bible says,  
Mary's boychild, Jesus Christ,
