Mary’s Little Boy Child

Jester Hairston

[Verse 1]
A long time ago in Bethlehem
So, the Holy Bible says
Mary's boy child, Jesus Christ
Was born on Christmas Day

[Chorus]
Hark now, hear the angels sing
A new king born today
And man will live forevermore
Because of Christmas Day

[Verse 2]
While shepherds watched their flocks by night
And saw a bright new shining star
They heard a choir sing
The music seemed to come from afar

[Verse 3]
Now, 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

[Chorus]
Hark now, hear the angels sing
A new king born today
And man will live forevermore
Because of Christmas Day

[Verse 4]
By and by, 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 new king born today
And man will live forevermore
Because of Christmas Day
Trumpets sound, and angels sing
Listen to what they say
That man will live forevermore
Because of Christmas Day
