Judith Durham - Marys Boy Child Lyrics

Long time ago in Bethlehem
So the Holy Bibles say
Mary's boy child Jesus Christ
Was born on Chri-istmas Day

Hark, now hear the angels sing
A new king born today
And man will live for evermore
Because of Chri-istmas Day

While shepherds watched their flocks by night
They saw a bright new shining star
They heard a choir sing
The music seemed to come from afar

Now Joseph and his wife, Mary
Came to Bethlehem that night
They found no place to bear the child
Not a single room was in sight

Trumpets sound and angels sing
Listen to what they say
And man will live for evermore
Because of Chri-istmas Day

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 Chri-istmas Day

Trumpets sound and angels sing
Listen to what they say
And man will live for evermore
Because - of - Chri-istmas - Day...
