Mary’s Little Boy Child
[Verse 1]
Long time ago in Bethlehem
So the Holy Bible say
Mary's boy child Jesus Christ
Was born on Christmas day

[Chorus]
Hark, now hear the angels sing
A new king born today
And man will live forevermore
Because of Christmas day
Trumpets sound and angels sing
Listen what they say
That man will live forevermore
Because of Christmas day

[Verse 2]
While shepherds watch their flock by night
They see a bright new shining star
Then hear a choir sing
The music seemed to come from afar
Now Joseph and his wife Mary
Come to Bethlehem that night
Then find no place to born the child
Not a single room was in sight
[Chorus]
Hark, now hear the angels sing
A new king born today
And man will live forevermore
Because of Christmas day
Trumpets sound and angels sing
Listen what they say
That man will live forevermore
Because of Christmas day

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
By and by they find a little nook
In a stable all forlorn
And in a manger's cold and dark
Mary's little boy was born

[Chorus]
Hark, now hear the angels sing
A new king born today
And man will live forevermore
Because of Christmas day
Now, trumpets sound and angels sing
Listen what they say
That man will live forevermore
Because of Christmas day, Hallelujah!
Can't you hear the angels sing?
Just listen what they say
Don't you that man will live forever
Because of Christmas day? Cause of Christmas day
Listen what they say
That man's gonna live forevermore
Because of Christmas day, well now

[Outro]
Whoa, I can hear what they say
We all gonna live forever, forever
Because of Christmas day, yeah
