Lyrics

(Listen)

Long time ago in bethlehem
So the holy bible say
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."

Joseph and his wife mary
Came to bethlehem that night
They found no place to bear her child
Not a single room in sight
Trumpets sound and angels sing
Listen to what they say
That man will live forevermore
Because of christmas day

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

Hark, now hear the angels sing
"New king's born today
And man will live forevermore
Because of christmas day."
Trumpets sound and angels sing
Listen to what they say
That man will live forevermore
Because of christmas day
Because of christmas day

O holy night the stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear savior's birth
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
Til he appeared and the soul felt its worth
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn
Fall on your knees
O hear the angel voices
O night divine!
O night when christ was born
O night divine!
O night, o night divine!

O night, hear the angel sing
That man will live forevermore
Because of christmas day
That man will live forevermore
Because of christmas day
