MARY'S LITTLE BOY CHILD
    Jester Hairston

    A 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
    A new King's born today
    And man will live forevermore
    Because of Christmas day
    Trumpets sound and angels sing
    Listen what they say
    That man will live forevermore
    Because of Christmas day

    While shepherds watch their flock by night
    They see a bright new star
    Then hear a choir of angels sing
    Music seems to come form afar

    Now Joseph and his wife Mary
    Come to Bethlehem that night
    They find no place to lay the Child
    Not a single room was in sight

    Hark now hear the angels sing
    A new King's born today
    And man will live forevermore
    Because of Christmas day
    Trumpets sound and angels sing
    Listen what they say
    That man will live forevermore
    Because of Christmas day

    By and by they find a little nook
    In a stable so forlorn
    In a manger there so cold and dark
    Mary's little Boy was born

    Hark now hear the angels sing
    A new King's born today
    And man will live forevermore
    Because of Christmas day
    Trumpets sound and angels sing
    Listen what they say
    That man will live forevermore
    Because of Christmas day
