26. Long Time Ago in Bethlehem

Verse 1

Long time ago in Bethlehem,

So the Holy Bible said,

Marys boy child Jesus Christ,

Was born on Christmas Day.

Chorus

Hark, now hear the angels sing,

A king was born today,

And man will live for evermore,

Because of Christmas Day

Verse 2

While shepherds watch their flocks by

night,

They see a bright new shining star,

They hear a choir sing a song,

The music seemed-to-come-from afar.

Chorus

Hark, now hear the angels sing,

A king was born today,

And man will live for evermore,

Because of Christmas Day

Bridge

/: Oh my Lord!

You sent your Son to save us

Oh my Lord!

Your very self you gave us

Oh my Lord!

That sin may not enslave us

And love may reign once more :/

(1st time up, 2nd down)

Chorus

Hark, now hear the angels sing,

A king was born today,

And man will live for evermore,

Because of Christmas Day
