Long time ago in Bethlehem,

 so the holy Bible say,

Mary's boy child Jesus Christ

 was born on Christmas day.

Chorus

Hark, now hear the angels sing, the new king born today.

 And we shall live for evermore because of Christmas day!

While shepards watched their flocks by night,

 They saw a bright new shining star.

 And then they heard a choir sing,

 the music seemed to come from afar

Chorus

Hark, now hear the angels sing, the new king born today.

 And we shall live for evermore because of Christmas day!

Then by and by in Bethlehem,

 In a stable all forlorn.

In a manger cold and dark,

 Mary's little boy child was born.

Chorus

Hark, now hear the angels sing, the new king born today.

 And we shall live for evermore because of Christmas day!

 And we shall live for evermore because of Christmas day!

Note: An effective ending would be to ritard(drastically slow down) on the last

"because of Christmas day"

Good Luck and Happy Holidays
