Jim Reeves - Mary's Boy Child Lyrics
Long time ago in Bethlehem
So the Holy Bible say
Mary's boy child Jesus Christ
Was born on Christmas Day.
A new King's born today
And man will live for evermore
Because of Christmas Day.
Trumpets sound and angels sing
Listen what they say
That man will live for evermore
Because of Christmas Day.
While Shepherds watched their flock by night
Then hear a choir of angels sing
Music seems to come from a far.
Now Joseph and his wife Mary
Come to Bethlehem that night
They find no place to lay the child
Not a single room was in sight.
Hark now hear the angels sing
A new King's born today
And man will live for evermore
Because of Christmas Day.
Trumpets sound and angels sing
Listen what they say
That man will live for evermore
Because of Christmas Day.
By and by they find a little nook
In a stable so forlorned
In a manger cold and dark
Mary's little boy was born.
Hark now hear the angels sing
A new King's born today
And man will live for evermore
Because of Christmas Day.
Trumpets sound and angels sing
Listen what they say
That man will live for evermore
Because of Christmas Day...

Oh Christmas the Greatest time of the year and with Jim Reeves it's just awesome
Andre Marais kuils River Cape Town South Africa. Jim Reeves by far the tilmeless singer.With his calm and beautiful voice he always took me back to my childhood, grandparents and church.Love you Gentle Jim!
Angel voice..merry christmas every one.
Huu wimbo ninaupenda kiasi kwamba nikisikiliza naishia machozi tu. Sasa na ww heb sikiliza kiroho zaidi, sio kimwili tu. Tega sikio kiroho, utaishia chozi tu. Huyu Baba yangu aliyeimba huu wimbo, Mr Jim Reeves, Bwana Mungu wetu Yesu Kristo amwangazie nuru za uso wake huko aliko. Hakika huyu mtu alikuwa mtu kati ya watu. Amen.
Two nights ago my wife and I attended a Christmas Eve service. A lady did a solo of this beautiful song. Immediately my mind went back to the Great Jim Reeves. Many years ago I fell in love with his version and to this day it remains my favorite Christmas song of all time. One word can sum up both Jim Reeves and his arrangement of this song. PERFECTION!.
Fantastic songs since 2000 up to 2019
2019 still a hit song!
Happy christmas to my fellow christians greetings from UAE
Great Christmas song 🎶 🎶
Jamani karoho kanauma nipo mbali na nyumbani basi tu. Nikisikiaga hizi nyimbo huwa machozi yananitoka
Who else watch this 2019✋😜
Men may come and men may go but Jim reeves song is still the best forever
A golden voice singing a golden song of the ages. My favorite Christmas carol from childhood and still cannot do without it in December 2019.
Me too..
Dec 2019
Good old days.
Big the music of Christmas
My mom's favorite singer
One of the great singers who died too young. Great rendition of this song.
Yes, he did die young, but left us a beautiful musical legacy.
Now this is my all time favorite Christmas song ever. It brings very beautiful memories of my Christmas gatherings in the 80s while I was still a young girl. My late parents would play this all days during the Christmas season

harry belafontes voice compared to jim reeves no chance
I love Belefonte's version but nobody does it like gentleman Jim.
Saw Jim Reeves in concert in Williston N. Dak at new armory ,I was at the show ,I was a fan of his
je veux un cd ,et partager
j adore
My all time favourite Christmas songs....
my grandmother favourite song. I heard during Christmas time when I was small....
In fact, here in Europe we know only Boney M version but this one is beautiful as well! :)
only the original Harry Belafonte version is more touching !
I have to disagree with you no one will ever sing this song like Jim Reeves. His voice was from heaven above.
@Elmer Sibley Hi Elmer I quite agree with you. Jim reeves was a legend and inspired many other artists too and sadly taken from us so prematurely .Do you also like the late Val Doonican..Kind regards Glynn n Greetings from Stourbridge West Midlands UK 🌟🌟🎄🎄🤗

29 idiots when I liked this...
Jim Reeves has a very powerful voice.
My mum gave this beautiful album over 50 years ago when my first child was born.She knew that I loved Jim singing Mary's Boy Child.I have played it every Christmas since.
My absolute favorite Christmas song from Gentleman Jim. This album played on the record player every Christmas while I was growing up.
I grew up listening to this when I was growing up. My Mother and Father loved to put this on the old record player we had in the living room and turn out the lights except for the Christmas tree lights and look at the tree. We all would just talk. Great times and memories that I will always treasure.
Me too...not the lights part...but pleasent memories though...
@M.N. D up
I did too, my dad was either playing the records or playing it on the piano.
i remember wen iwas chid
Christmas just isn't the same without this voice. Thank God he shared it with the rest of us.
This takes me back to when I was a kid. Mom had Jim's Christmas LP and it played over and over. The album stopped playing 9 years ago, but I just had to hear this one more time. Merry Christmas everyone and thanks Kanaal for the upload.
+benni1023fm Same here both my Parents were big Jim Reeves fans.
