1. [C]Long time ago in [F]Bethlehem, so the [G7]Holy Bible [C]says
Mary’s boy child [F]Jesus Christ was [C]born on [G7]Christmas [C]Day
Chorus: Hark, now [F]hear the [G7]angels [C]sing a [Am]new king [F]born to-[G]day
And [C]man will live for [F]evermore be-[C]cause of [G7]Christmas [C]Day
Trumpets [F]sound and [G7]angels [C]sing lis-[Am]ten to [F]what they [G7]say
And [C]man will live for [F]evermore be-[C]cause of [G7]Christmas [C]Day
2. [C]While shepherds watch their [F]flocks by night they [G7]see a bright [C]star
Anh heard a choir of [F]angels sing music [C]seems to [G7]come from a [C]far
3. [C]Now Joseph and his [F]wife Mary come to [G7]Bethlehem that [C]night
They find no place to [F]lay the child not a [C]single [G7]room was in [C]sight
4. [C]By and by they find a [F]little nook in a [G7]stable so for-[C]lorn
In a manger there so [F]cold and dark [C]Mary’s little [G7]Boy was [C]born
