Mary’s Boy Child Lyrics by Boney M
[Intro]
Mary’s boy child Jesus Christ
Was born on Christmas day
And man will live forever more
Because of Christmas day
[Verse 1]
Long time ago in Bethlehem
So the Holy Bible said
Mary’s boy child Jesus Christ
Was born on Christmas day
[Chorus]
Hark, now hear the angels sing, a king was born today
And man will live forever more
Because of Christmas day
Mary’s boy child Jesus christ
Was born on Christmas day
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
Hark, now hear the angels sing, a king was born today
And man will live forever more, because of Christmas day
[Bridge]
For a moment the world was aglow, 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”
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
Oh a moment the world was aglow, 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”
[Outro]
Oh my Lord, you sent your son to save us
Oh my Lord, your very self you gave us
Oh my Lord, that sin may not enslave us
And love may reign once more
Oh my Lord, when in the crib they found him
Oh my Lord, a golden halo crowned him
Oh my Lord, they gathered all around him
To see him and adore
Oh my lord, with the child’s adoration
Oh my Lord, there came great jubilation
Oh my Lord, and full of admiration
They realized what they had (Until the sun falls from the sky)
Oh my Lord, they had become to doubt you (So praise the lord)
Oh my Lord, what did they know about you? (He is the truth forever)
Oh my Lord, but they were lost without you (So praise the lord)
They needed you so bad (His light is shining on us)
Oh my lord, with the child’s adoration (So praise the lord)
Oh my Lord, there came great jubilation (He is a jubilation)
Oh my Lord, and full of admiration (So praise the lord)
They realized what they had (Until the sun falls from the sky)
Oh my Lord, you sent your son to save us (Oh praise the lord)
Oh my Lord, your very self you gave us (This day will live forever)
Oh my Lord, that sin may not enslave us (So praise the lord)
And love may reign once more
