Aaron Neville Mary's Boy Child
Long time ago in Bethlehem, so the Holy Bible said
Mary's boy child Jesus Christ was born on Christmas day
Hark, now hear the angels sing, a king was born today
And man will live for evermore because of Christmas day
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
Now hark, now hear the angels sing, a king was born today
And man will live for evermore because of Christmas day
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, now hear the angels sing, a king was born today
And man will live for evermore because of Christmas day
And then they found a little nook in a stable all forlorn
And in a manger cold and dark, Mary's little boy was born
Hark, now hear the angels sing, a king was born today
And man will live for evermore because of Christmas day
And man will live for evermore because of Christmas day
