mary's little boy child

Anne Murray

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
New King's born today
And man will live forevermore
Because of Christmas day.
Mary's Boy Child, Jesus Christ
Was born on Christmas Day.

While shepherds watched their flocks by night
They saw a bright new shining star
And heard a choir from heaven sing
The music came from afar.

Hark, now hear the angels sing,
New King's born today
And man will live forevermore
Because of Christmas day.
Mary's Boy Child, Jesus Christ
Was born on 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.

By and by they found a little nook
In a stable all forlorn
And in a manger cold and dark
Mary's little Boy Child was born.

Trumpets sound and angels sing
Listen to what they say
That man will live forevermore
Because of Christmas day
Mary's Boy Child, Jesus Christ
Was born on Christmas Day.

Oh my Lord
You sent your son to save us
Oh my Lord
Your very self you gave us
Oh my Lord
That sin may not enslave us
And love may reign once more.

Oh my Lord
When in the crib they found you
Oh my Lord
A golden halo crowned you
Oh my lord
