Long time ago in Bethlehem,

Mary's boy child Jesus Christ
E B7 E

was born on Christmas day.
[Verse 2]

While shepherds watched their flocks by night,
B7 E

they saw a bright new shining star.
E A F#m

And then they heard a choir sing,
E B7 E
E B7 E
the music seemed to come from afar
[Verse 3]
E A F#m

Then by and by in Bethlehem,
B7 E
B7 E
in a stable all forlorn.
E A F#m
E A F#m
And in a manger cold and dark,
E B7 E
E B7 E
Mary's little boy was born.
[Chorus]
E A B G#7 C#m F# B

Hark, now hear the angels sing, the new king born today.
E A F#m E B7 E

And we shall live for evermore because of Christmas day!
Mary's boy child Jesus Christ
Was born on Christmas day
[Bridge]
For a moment the world was aglow
all the bells rang out
There were tears of joy and laughter
people shouted Let everyone know,
there is hope for all to find peace
