Mary's Boy Child 

  6    6   6 7  6   -6  -5 -4 
Long time ag-o in Beth-le-hem 

-6 -6   6 -7 -6 -5   5 
So the Ho-ly Bi-ble say, 

 6  8   -8    7    -6 -5   -4 
Mar-y's Boy Child, Je-sus Christ, 

-6    6   7 -7   7  -8   7 
Was born on Chr-ist-mas day, 

 8     8   -9  -9  -8 -8    8 
Hark, now hear the an-gels sing, 

7  7   7      -8   7 -7 
A New King's born to-day, 

-6   6   8   -8     7 -6 -5 -4 
And man will live for-ev-er-more 

-6   6    7  -7  7 -8   7 
Be-cause of Chr-ist-mas Day. 


While shepherds watched their flocks by night, 
They saw a bright new shining star, 
They heard a choir sing a song; 
The music seemed to come from afar 


Now Jo-seph and his wife Mar-y 
Came to Beth-le-hem that night; 
They found no place to bear her Child; 
Not a sin-gle room was in sight.
