3 3 3 4 3 -3 -2 -1
Long time a-go in Beth-le-hem,
-3 -3 3 -4 -3 -2 2
so the Ho-ly Bi-ble say
3 6 -5 5 -3 -2 -1
Mar-y`s Boy Child, Je-sus Christ
-3 3 4 -4 4 -5 5
was born on Christ-mas Day

6 6 -6 -6 -5 -5 6
Hark now hear the an-gels sing,
5 5 -5 5 -4
“New Kings born to-day
-3 3 6 -5 4 -3 -2 -1
And man will live for-ev-er more,
-3 3 4 -4 4 -5 5
Be-cause of Christ-mas Day”

3 3 3 4
While shep-herds watched
3 -3 -2 -1
Their flocks by night
-3 -3 -3 3 -4 -3 -2 2
They saw a bright new shin-ing star
3 3 6 -5 4 -3 -2 -1
And heard a choir from heav-en sing
-3 3 4 -4 4 -5 5
The mu-sic came from a-far

6 6 -6 -6 -5 -5 6
Hark now hear the an-gels sing,
5 5 -5 5 -4
“New Kings born to-day
-3 3 6 -5 4 -3 -2 -1
And man will live for-ev-er more,
-3 3 4 -4 4 -5 5
Be-cause of Christ-mas Day”

3 3 3 4 3 -3 -2 -1
Now Jo-seph and his wife Mar-y
-3 -3 3 -4 -3 -2 2
Came to Beth-le-hem that night
3 3 6 -5 4 -3 -2 -1
They found no place to bear her Child
-3 -3 3 4 -4 4 -5 5
Not a sin-gle room was in sight
3 3 4 3 -3 -3 -2 -2 -1
By and by they found a lit-tle nook
-3 -3 3 -4 -3 -2 2
In a sta-ble all for-lorn
3 3 6 -5 4 -3 -2 -1
And in a man-ger cold and dark
-3 -3 3 4 -4 4 -5 5
Mar-y’s lit-tle Boy Child was born

6 6 -6 -6 -5 -5 6
Trum-pets sound and an-gels sing,
5 5 5 -5 5 -4
Lis-ten to what they say,
-3 3 6 -5 4 -3 -2 -1
That man will live for-ev-er more
-3 3 4 -4 4 -5 5…
Be-cause of Christ-mas Day
