Johnny Mathis and Gloria Estefan - 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 newborn king today
And man will live forevermore because of Christmas Day

While shepherds watched their flocks by night
They saw a bright new shining star
And heard a choir from Heaven's way, the music came from afar

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 I hear the angels sing, a new king born today
And man will live forevermore because of Christmas Day

By and by they find a little nook in a stable all forlorn
And in a manger cold and dark, Mary's boy was born

Hark, now hear the angels sing, a newborn king today
And man will live forevermore because of Christmas Day
