Mary's Little Boy Child

Andy Williams · Other Songs - Andy Williams

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



While shepherds watch their flock by night

They saw a bright new shining star

And heard a choir from Heaven sing

The music came from afar



Hark now hear the angels sing

A new King's born today

And man will live forevermore

Because of Christmas day



Now Joseph and his wife Mary

Came to Bethlehem that night

They found no place to bare her 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 Child was born



Trumpets sound and angels sing

Listen what they say

That man will live forevermore

Because of Christmas day

Mary's Little Boy Child
