Lyrics author: Jester Hairston

	C	F
Long	time ago in	Bethlehem,

	G	C
So the	Holy Bible	say;

	F
Mary’s boy child	Jesus Christ

	C	G7	C
Was	born on	Christmas	day.

		C	F	G7	C
		Hark now	hear the	angels	sing,

		Am	F	G
	A	new	king born	today,

		C	F	C	Dm
	And	man will	live	forever	more,

		C	G7	C
		Because of	Christmas	day.

		C	F	G7	C
		Trumpets	sound and the	angels	sing,

		Am	F	G
		Listen to	what they	say.

		C	F	C	Dm
	That	man will	live	forever	more,

		C	G7	C
		Because of	Christmas	day.

While shepherds watched their flocks by night,

Them see a bright new shining star,

Them hear a choir sing,

The music seemed to come from afar.

		C	F	G7	C
		Hark now	hear the	angels	sing,

		Am	F	G
	A	new	king born	today,

		C	F	C	Dm
	And	man will	live	forever	more,

		C	G7	C
		Because of	Christmas	day.

Now Joseph and his wife Mary,

Come to Bethlehem that night,

Them find no place to lay she child,

Not a single room was in sight.

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.

		C	F	G7	C
		Hark now	hear the	angels	sing,

		Am	F	G
	A	new	king born	today,

		C	F	C	Dm
	And	man will	live	forever	more,

		C	G7	C
		Because of	Christmas	day.

Long time ago in Bethlehem,

So the Holy Bible say;

Mary’s boy child Jesus Christ

Was born on Christmas day.
