Lianie May Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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 flocks by night,
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.
Oh a moment still worth was a glow, 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".
Now Joseph and his wife, Mary, came to Bethlehem that night,
They found no place to bear her child, not a single room was in sight.
And then they found a little nook in a stable all forlorn,
And in a manger cold and dark, Mary's little boy was born.
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.
Oh a moment still worth was a glow, 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...

The opening lines reference the Holy Bible and the town of Bethlehem, where Christ was born on Christmas Day.

The song emphasizes the significance of Christmas Day, as it represents hope and the promise of everlasting life.

They eventually find a stable where Mary gives birth to her son in a manger. The song paints a picture of the emotional response to Christ's birth, including tears of joy, laughter, and shouting, all of which are grounded in the hope that the birth of Jesus represents.
Overall, "Mary's Boy Child" is a celebration of the nativity story and the hope and joy that it represents. The song emphasizes the significance of Christ's birth for Christians and the importance of the holiday season as a time of reflection and renewal.
