Hairston: Mary's Boy Child

Mary's Boy Child - Kiri Te Kanawa/London Voices/Philharmonia Orchestra/Carl Davis

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 angel

Sing a new king born today

And man will live for evermore

Because of Christmas day

Trumpets sound and angel

Sing listen to what they say

And man will live for evermore

Because of Christmas day

Why shepherds watched their flocks by night

Them see a bright new shining star

And hear a choir sing

The music seem to come from afar

Now Joseph and his wife Mary

Came to Bethlehem that night

They found no place to born she child

Not a single room was in sight

Hark now hear the angel sing

A new king born today

And man will live for evermore

Because of Christmas day

Trumpets sound and angel

Sing listen to what they say

That man will live for evermore

Because of Christmas day

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

Hark now hear the angel sing

A new king born today

And man will live for evermore

Because of Christmas day

Trumpets sound and angel

Sing listen to what they say

And man will live for evermore

Because of Christmas day
