Mary's boy child Jesus Christ
Was born on Christmas day
And man will live forever more
Because of Christmas day

F                A#                 C          F
Long time ago in Bethlehem, so the Holy Bible say,
F                 A#                F
Mary's boy child Jesus Christ, was born on
   C       F
Christmas Day

Chorus:
 F         A#      C       F
Hark, now hear the angels sing,
   Dm       Gm     C
a king was born today
     F                A#           F
And man will live for evermore, because of
   C       F
Christmas Day
 F                A#                F
Mary's boy child Jesus Christ, was born on
   C       F
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

Chorus:
Hark, now hear the angels sing,
a king was born today
And man will live forever more,
because of Christmas day

F                A#                        C
For a moment the world was aglow, all the bells
rang out
            F
There were tears of joy and laughter,
                    A#                       C
People shouted "let everyone know, there is hope
                 F
for all to find peace"

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

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

Chorus:
Hark, now hear the angels sing,
a king was born today
And man will live for evermore,
because of Christmas day
Mary's boy child Jesus Christ,
was born on Christmas day

Oh a moment the world was aglow,
all the bells rang out
There were tears of joy and laughter
People shouted, "let everyone know,
there is hope for all to find peace"

F#
Oh my lord, you sent your son to save us
F#
Oh my lord, your very self you gave us
C#
Oh my lord, that sin may not enslave us
F#
And love may reign once more

Oh my Lord, when in the crib they found him
Oh my Lord, a golden halo crowned him
Oh my Lord, they gathered all around him
To see him and adore

Oh my lord, with the child's adoration
Oh my Lord, there came great jubilation
Oh my Lord, and full of admiration
They realized what they had
(Until the sun falls from the sky)

Oh my Lord, they had become to doubt you
(So praise the lord)
Oh my Lord, what did they know about you?
(He is the truth forever)
Oh my Lord, but they were lost without you
(So praise the lord)
They needed you so bad (His light is shining on us)

Oh my lord, with the child's adoration
(So praise the lord)
Oh my Lord, there came great jubilation
(He is a jubilation)
Oh my Lord, and full of admiration
(So praise the lord)
They realized what they had
(Until the sun falls from the sky)

Oh my Lord, you sent your son to save us
(Oh praise the lord)
Oh my Lord, your very self you gave us
(This day will live forever)
Oh my Lord, that sin may not enslave us
(So praise the lord)
And love may reign once more
