Mary’s Boy Child

Jester Hairston

A long time ago in Bethlehem
So the Holy Bible say
Mary's boy child, Jesus Christ
Was born on Christmas Day

Shepherds watched their flocks 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 born today
And man will live for evermore
Because of Christmas Day

Joseph and his wife Mary
Came to Bethlehem that night
And found no place to bear her child
Not a single room was in sight

By and by they found a little nook
In a stable all forlorn
And in a manger, cold and dark
Mary’s littlе baby was born

Trumpets sound and angels sing
Listen to what thеy say
That man will live for evermore
Because of Christmas Day
Trumpets sound and angels sing
Listen to what they say
That man will live for evermore
Because of Christmas Day
