Aaron Neville Mary's Boy Child lyrics

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
