(Repeat 1st 3 Verses)

While shepherds watched their flock by night
And see a bright new shining star
And hear a choir sing
The music seem to come from afar.

Hark, now hear the angels sing
A new King born today
And man will live forever more
Because of Christmas day.

Trumpets sound and angels sing
Listen to what they say
That man will live forevermore
Because of Christmas Day

Long time ago in Bethlehem
So the Holy Bible say
Mary's boy child, Jesus Christ
Was born on Christmas day.

Hark, now hear the angels sing
A new King born today
And man will live forever more
Because of Christmas day.

Trumpets sound and angels sing
Listen to what they say
That man will live forevermore
Because of Christmas Day
