Long time ago in Bethlehem, so the Holy Bible says,

Mary`s boychild, Jesus Christ, was born on Christmas Day.

and man will live forever more because of Christmas Day.

C F Dm
While shepherds watch their flocks by night,
G C
they see a bright new shining star.
F Dm
They hear a choir sing a song,
C G C
the music seemed to come from afar.
#3.
C F Dm G C
Now Joseph and his wife, Mary, came to Bethlehem that night.
C F Dm
They found no place to bear the child,
C G C
not a single room was in sight.
#4.
C F Dm G C
And then they found a little nook, in a stable all forlorn.
C F Dm C G C
And in a manger, cold and dark, Mary`s little boy was born.
#5.
C F G C Am Dm G
Trumpets sound and Angels sing...listen to what they say,
G C F Dm C G C
that man will live forever more because of Christmas Day.
