X13 - Mary’s Boy Child
Long time ago in Beth-le-hem
so the Ho-ly Bi-ble say,
Ma-ry’s Boy Child, Jesus Christ
was born on Christ-mas Day.
Hark, now hear the an-gels sing,
a new King born to-day:
and Man will live for ev-er-more,
because of Christ-mas Day.
Trumpets sound and an-gels sing,
lis-ten to what they say:
that Man will live for ev-er-more,
because of Christmas Day.
[2 x Bar Re-introduction]
While shep-herds watched their flocks by night,
them see a bright new shin-ing star;
them hear a cho-ir sing: the mu-sic
seemed to come from a-far.
Now Jo-seph and his wife, Ma-ry,
come to Beth-le-hem that night:
them find no place to born the Child,
not a sin-gle room was in sight.
Hark, now hear the an-gels sing,
a new King born to-day:
and Man will live for ev-er-more,
because of Christ-mas Day.
Trumpets sound and an-gels sing,
lis-ten to what they say:
that Man will live for ev-er-more,
because of Christmas Day.
[2 x Bar Re-introduction]
By and by they find a nook
in a sta-ble all for-lorn,
and in a man-ger cold and dark,
Mary’s lit-tle Boy was born.
Long time ago in Beth-le-hem,
so the Ho-ly Bi-ble say,
Mary’s Boy Child, Je-sus Christ,
was born on Christ-mas Day.
Hark, now hear the an-gels sing,
a new King born to-day:
and Man will live for ev-er-more,
because of Christ-mas Day.
Trumpets sound and an-gels sing,
lis-ten to what they say:
that Man will live for ev-er-more,
because of Christmas Day.
