[C]Long time ago in [F]Bethle[Dm]Bethlehem,
so the [G7]holy Bible [C]say,

was [C]born on [G7]Christmas [C]day.
Chorus:
[C]Hark, now [F]hear the [G]angels [E7]sing, the [Am]new king [D]born to[G]today.
And [C]we shall live for [F]ever[Dm]evermore be[C]because of [G7]Christmas [C]day!
[C]While shepards watched their [F]flocks by [Dm]night,
They saw [G7]a bright new shining [C]star.
And [C]then they heard a [F]choir [Dm]sing,
the music [C]seemed to come [G7]from a[C]afar
Chorus:
[C]Hark, now [F]hear the [G]angels [E7]sing, the [Am]new king [D]born to[G]today.

In a [G7]stable all for[C]forlorn.
[C]In a manger [F]cold and [Dm]dark,
Mary's [C]little boy [G7]child was [C]born.
Chorus:
[C]Hark, now [F]hear the [G]angels [E7]sing, the [Am]new king [D]born to[G]today.
And [C]we shall live for [F]ever[Dm]evermore be[C]because of [G7]Christmas [C]day!
And [C]we shall live for [F]ever[Dm]evermore be[C]because of [G7]Christmas [C]day!
