It's Christmas and we at Seasons Magazine wish to present the lyrics of two Christmas songs we think most epitomize the observance and the spirit of the season..
MARY'S BOY CHILD
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,
The new king born today,
And man will live for evermore,
Because of Christmas day!
While shepherds watched their flocks by night,
They saw a bright new shining star.
And then they heard a choir sing,
The music seem to come from afar.
Chorus: Hark now hear..............
Then by and by in Bethlehem,
In a stable all forlorn.
In a manager cold and dark,
Mary's little boy child was born.
Chorus: Hark now hear....................
( Written by Jester Hairston --1956) Sung by various artists.
SOMEDAY AT CHRISTMAS
Someday at Christmas men wont be boys
Playing with bombs like kids play with toys
One warm December our hearts will see
A world where men are free
Someday at Christmas there'll be no wars
When we have learned what Christmas is for
When we have found what life's really worth
There'll be peace on earth
Someday all our dreams will come to be
Someday in a world where men are free
Maybe not in time for you and me
But someday at Christmastime
Someday at Christmas we'll see a land
No hungry children no empty hand
One happy morning people will share
A world where people care
Someday at Christmas there'll be no tears
All men are equal and all men have fears
One shining moment one prayer away
From our world today.
Someday all our dreaams will come to be....................
Someday at Christmas men will not fail
Hate will be gone and love will prevail
Someday a new world that we can start
With hope in every heart.(written by Ron Miller and Brian Wells) First performed by Stevie Wonder 1967.
