Sissel Mary's Boy Child song lyrics

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 shepherds watched their flock by

night, they saw a bright new shining star, and heard a choir of angels sing the music came from afar.

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

And man will live for evermore, because of Christmas Day

By and by 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 new king born today,

And man will live for evermore, because of Christmas Day.
