Mary's Boy Child Songtext
von Johnny Mathis

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 singing
A newborn King today
And man will live for evermore
Because of Christmas Day

While shepherds watched their flocks by night
They saw a bright new shining star
And heard a choir from heaven's way
The music came from afar


Now Joseph and his wife, Mary
Came to Bethlehem that night
They found no place to bear her child
Not a single room was in sight

Hark, I hear the angels sing
A new King born today
And 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 boy was born

Hark, now hear the angels singing
A newborn King today
And man will live for evermore
Because of Christmas Day
