1. [C] Long time ago in [F] Bethlehem, so the [G7] Holy Bible [C] says
Mary's boy child [F] Jesus Christ was [C] born on [G7] Christmas [C] Day
Chorus: Hark, now [F] hear the [G7] angels [C] sing a [Am] new king [F] born to-[G] day
And [C] man will live for [F] evermore be-[C] cause of [G7] Christmas [C] Day
Trumpets [F] sound and [G7] angels [C] sing lis-[Am] ten to [F] what they [G7] say
And [C] man will live for [F] evermore be-[C] cause of [G7] Christmas [C] Day
2. [C] While shepherds watch their [F] flocks by night they [G7] see a bright [C] star
Anh heard a choir of [F] angels sing music [C] seems to [G7] come from a [C] far
3. [C] Now Joseph and his [F] wife Mary come to [G7] Bethlehem that [C] night
They find no place to [F] lay the child not a [C] single [G7] room was in [C] sight
4. [C] By and by they find a [F] little nook in a [G7] stable so for-[C] lorn
In a manger there so [F] cold and dark [C] Mary's little [G7] Boy was [C] born
Mary's boy child [F] Jesus Christ was [C] born on [G7] Christmas [C] Day
Chorus: Hark, now [F] hear the [G7] angels [C] sing a [Am] new king [F] born to-[G] day
