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.

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.

While Shepherds watched their flock by night
They see a bright new star
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...

    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!.

    My absolute favorite Christmas song from Gentleman Jim. This album played on the record player every Christmas while I was growing up.

  94. S.... S....

    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...
