Long time ago in Bethlehem
So the Holy Bible say
Mary’s Boy Child Jesus Christ
Was born on Christmas Day

A new King born today
And man will live for evermore

Listen to what they say
That man will live for evermore
Because of Christmas day
Verse 2
While Shepherds watched their flocks at night,
Them see a bright new shining star
Them hear a choir sing
the music
seems to come from afar
Now Joseph and his wife Mary,
Come to Bethlehem that night
Them find no place to born the Child,
Not a single room in sight

O Holy Night
Verse 1
O Holy night
The stars are brightly shining
It is the night of the dear Saviour’s birth
Long lay the world
In sin and error pining
Till He appeared and the soul felt it’s worth
A thrill of hope
The weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks
A new and glorious morn
Chorus
Fall on your knees
O hear the angel voices
O night divine
O night when Christ was born
Verse 2
Humbly He lay
Creator come as creature
Born on the floor of a hay scattered stall
True Son of God
Yet bearing human feature
He entered earth to reverse Adam’s fall
In towering grace
He laid aside His glory
And in our place
Was sacrificed for sin
Chorus
Fall on your knees
O hear the angel voices
O night divine
O night when Christ was born
Verse 3
Come then to Him
Who lies within the manger
With joyful shepherds
Proclaim Him as Lord
Let not the Promised Son remain a stranger
In reverent worship make Christ your Adored
Eternal life is theirs who would receive Him
With grace and peace
Their lives He will adorn
End Chorus
Fall on your knees
Receive the gift of heaven
O night divine
O night when Christ was born
O night
O holy night
when Christ was born
