9."Mary's
Boy Child" Written by Jester Hairston-
1956
Mary's boy child Jesus Christ was born on Christmas
Day.
And man will live for evermore, because of Christmas
Day.
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.
Mary's boy child Jesus Christ was born on 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.
Hark, now hear the angels
sing, a king was born today,
And man will live for evermore, because of Christmas
Day.
Oh a moment still worth
was a glow, 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".
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.
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 still
worth was a glow, 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".
Oh my Lord...
