[English]

Mary's boy child, Jesus Christ, was born on Christmas Day
And man will live for evermore, 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 for evermore, because of Christmas Day
Mary's boy child, Jesus Christ, was born on Christmas Day
While shepherds watch their flock 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 for evermore, because of Christmas Day
For a moment the world was aglow, all the bells rang out
There were tears of joy and laughter, people shouted
Let everyone know, there is hope for all to find peace
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
(This day will live forever)
Oh, my Lord (so praise the Lord)
They had become to doubt You
Oh, my Lord (He is the truth forever)
What did they know about You
Oh, my Lord (so praise the Lord)
But they were lost without You
They needed You so bad (His light is shining on us)
Oh, my Lord (so praise the Lord) (oh, my Lord) with the child's adoration
Oh, my Lord (He is a personation) (oh, my Lord) there came great jubilation
Oh, my Lord (so praise the Lord) and full of admiration
They realized what they had (until the sun falls from the sky)
Oh, my Lord (oh, praise the Lord) (oh, my Lord) You sent Your son to save us
Oh, my Lord (this day will live forever) (oh, my Lord) Your very self you gave us
Oh, my Lord (so praise the Lord)
