Mary's Boy Child 瑪麗的小男孩

Long time my boy in Bethlehem, 很早以前我的孩子在伯利恆
So the Holy Bible say, 聖經這樣說
Mary's boy child, Jesus Christ, 瑪麗的小男孩,基督耶穌
Was born on Christmas day. 在聖誕節出生
Hark, now hear the angels sing,聽,聽那天使歌唱
A new king born today, 新生王今天誕生
And man will live forever more, 人們會永遠記得
Because of Christmas Day. 這個聖誕日
While shepherds watched their flocks by night,
當牧羊人在夜裡看顧著羊群
Them see a bright new shining star, 他們看到天空閃亮的星星
Them hear a choir sing, 他們聽到天使歌唱
The music seemed to come from afar. 那歌聲似乎從遠處來
Now Joseph and his wife Mary,然後約瑟夫和妻子瑪麗
Come to Bethlehem that night, 就在那夜來到伯利恆
Them find no place to born she child, 卻找不到地方讓她分娩
Not a single room was in sight. 沒有一處有空房間
Hark, now hear the angels sing. 聽,聽那天使歌唱
A new king born today, 新生王今天誕生
And man will live forever more, 人們將永遠記得
Because of Christmas Day. 這個聖誕日
By and by they find a little nook好不容易找到一處角落
In a stable all forlorn, 一處棄置的馬廄
And in a manger cold and dark, 躺在又冷又舊的馬槽裡
Mary's little boy was born. 瑪麗的小男孩誕生了
Hark, now here the angels sings. 聽,聽那天使歌唱
A new king born today, 新生王今天誕生
And man will live forever more, 人們將永遠記得
Because of Christmas Day. 這個聖誕日
Hark, sound the angels sings. 聽,唱那天使的歌
A place to holy day, 一處聖地聖日
That man will live forever more, 人們將永遠記得
Because of Christmas Day. 這個聖誕日
