Cliff Richard, Helmut Lotti - Mary's Boy Child lyrics

A long time ago in Bethlehem
So the Holy Bibles say
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 seemed to come from afar

Hark, now hear the angels sing
A new King born today
That man will live forevermore
Because of Christmas Day

Mary's boy child, Mary's boy child
Was born on Christmas Day

Now Joseph and his wife, Mary
Came to Bethlehem that night
And in a stable, cold and dark
The Boy was born of glorious light

Hark, now hear the angels sing
A new King born today
That man will live forevermore
Because of Christmas Day
Mary's boy child, Mary's boy child
Mary's boy child, Jesus Christ

Trumpets sound and angels sing
Listen to what they say
That man will live forevermore
Because of Christmas Day

Hark, now hear the angels sing
A new King born today
That 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

Happy Christmas yes He was
Mary's boy child was born on Christmas Day
