Long Time Ago In Bethlehem Lyrics
[Intro]
Now, listen now
[Verse 1]
A long time ago in Bethlehem
So the Holy Bible says
Mary’s boy child, Jesus Christ
Was born on Chris-ta-mas-day
[Chorus]
Listen, hear the angels sing
A new king born today
And man will live forever more
Because of Chris-ta-mas-day
[Verse 2]
While shepherds watched their flocks by night
Them see a new [?] brighting star
And then them hear a choir sing
It seemed to come from afar
[Chorus]
Listen, hear the angels sing
A new king born today
And man will live forever more
Because of Chris-ta-mas-day
[Verse 3]
When Joseph and he wife Mary
Came to Bethlehem that night
They find no place to born that child
Not a single room was in sight
[Chorus]
Listen, hear the angels sing
A new king born today
And man will live forever more
Because of Chris-ta-mas-day
[Verse 4]
Then bye and bye them find a little nook
In a stable all forlorn
And in a manger cold and dark
Mary’s little boy was born
[Chorus]
Listen, hear the angels sing
A new king born today
And man will live forever more
Because of Christ-a-mas-day
[Post-Chorus]
Now, listen, listen
[Verse 1]
A long time ago in Bethlehem
So the Holy Bible say-i-ay
Mary’s boy child, Jesus Christ—
—on Christ-a-mas-day
[Chorus]
Listen, hear the angels sing
A new king born today
And man will live forever more
Because of Chris-ta-mas-day
Awaka, man will live forever more
Because of Chris-ta-mas-day
Now one more time: Man will live forever more
Because of Chris-ta-mas-day
