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
