Mary's Boy Child

(album: Tidings Of Comfort And Joy - 1984)

Long time ago in Bethlehem, so the Holy Bible said
Mary's boy child Jesus Christ, was born on Christmas Day

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

Hark, now hear the angels sing, a new king born today
And man will live for evermore, because of Christmas Day
(Now hear the) trumpets sound and angels sing
Listen to what they say
That man will live for evermore, because of Christmas Day
(Because of Christmas Day)

Now Joseph and his wife, Mary, come to Bethlehem that night
Them find no place to born the child, not a single room was in sight

By and by they find 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 new king born today
And man will live for evermore, because of Christmas Day
(Now hear the) trumpets sound and angels sing
Listen to what they say
That man will live for evermore, because of Christmas Day
Because of Christmas Day
(Because of Christmas Day...)
