Jester Hairston

Key: F major, D minor

Jester Joseph Hairston

Arr: R. Steiner

Mary's boy child, Jesus Christ, was born on Christmas Day

And man will live forevermore because of Christmas Day

Long time ago in Bethlehem, so the Holy Bible said

Mary's boy child, Jesus Christ, was born on Christmas Day

Hark, now hear the angels sing, a king was born today

And man will live forevermore because of Christmas Day

Mary's boy child, Jesus Christ, was born on Christmas Day

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

Hark, now hear the angels sing, a king was born today

And man will live forevermore because of Christmas Day

Mmh-mmh

Mmh-hmm

Mmh-mmh

Mmh-mmh-hmm

Mmh-mmh-mmh-hmm

Mmh-hmm-mmh-mmh

For a moment the world was aglow, all the bells rang out

There were tears of joy and laughter, people shouted

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

They had become to doubt You

Oh my Lord

What did they know about You?

Oh my Lord

But they were lost without You

They needed You so bad

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

Oh my Lord

You sent Your son to save us

Oh my Lord

Your very self You gave us

Oh my Lord
