Mary's Boy Child

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 new king born today
And man will live for evermore because of Christmas Day.
While sheρherds watch their flocks by night
They saw a bright new shining star
And heard a choir from heaven sing
The music came from afar.
Hark, now hear the angels sing a new king born today
And man will live for [Dm7]evermore because of Christmas Day.
Now Joseρh and [Bm]his wife, Mary
Came to [C7]Bethlehem [A]that night
They found no place to [C7]bear her child
Not a single ɾoom was [Am7]in sight.
Hark, now hear the angels sing a new king born today
And man will live for [Dm7]evermore because of Christmas Day.
By and [Bm]by they found a nook in a stable all [Em]forlorn
And in a manger cold and [Bm]dark, Mary's little child was [Am7]born.
Trumpets sound and [Bm]angels sing
Listen to [C7]what they say
That man will live for [Dm7]evermore because of Christmas Day
Hark, now hear the angels sing a new king born today
And man will live for [Dm7]evermore because of Christmas Day
And man will live for [Dm7]evermore because of Christmas Day.
