Aaron Neville Mary's Boy Child song lyrics

Long time ago in Bethlehem, so the Holy Bible said

Mary's boy child Jesus Christ was born on Christmas day

Hark, now hear the angels sing, a king was born today

And man will live for evermore because of Christmas day

While shepherds watch their flocks by night

They see a bright new shining star

They hear a choir sing a song, the music seemed to come from afar

Now hark, now hear the angels sing, a king was born today

And man will live for evermore because of Christmas day

Now Joseph and his wife, Mary, came to Bethlehem that night

They found no place to bear her child, not a single room was in sight

Hark, now hear the angels sing, a king was born today

And man will live for evermore because of Christmas day

And then they found 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 king was born today

And man will live for evermore because of Christmas day

And man will live for evermore because of Christmas day
