Marys Boy Child

G C D G 
Long time ago in Bethlehem, so the Holy Bible say, 
 
G C G D7 G 
Mary‘s boy child Jesus Christ, was born on Christmas Day. 
 
 
Chorus: 
 
G C D7 G Em C D 
Hark, now hear the angels sing, a new king born today, and 
 
G D/A G/B C G D7 G 
man will live for evermore, because of Christmas day. 
 
G C D7 G Em C D 
Trumpets sound and angels sing, listen to what they say, that 
 
G D/A C G D7 G 
man will live for evermore, because of Christmas Day. 
 
 
While shepherds watch their flocks by night, 
them see a bright new shining star, 
them hear a choir sing, the music seemed to come from afar. 
Now Joseph and his wife, Mary, come to Bethlehem that night, 
them find no place to born the child, not a single room was in sight. 
 
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. 
Long time ago in Bethlehem, so the Holy Bible say, 
Mary‘s boy child, Jesus Christ, was born on Christmas Day.
