Merry Christmas Mary Lyrics

Merry Christmas Mary lyrics

Joseph was tired

They’d been traveling all day

And it was almost midnight

Before he found a place to stay



He put the burro in the stall

Then knelt beside his wife

To comfort her

As she went through

The pain of giving life



And up above a star was shining brightly in the sky

Joseph held the baby child

And showed him to his wife



And he said,

“Merry Christmas, Mary

Let me be the first to say,

Merry Christmas, Mary

The son of God has come to us today�



There was someone at the door

And Joseph turned to see

Some plain and simple shepherd men

Down on bended knee



They talked about an angel

Who told them where to come

In the middle of the night to see

God’s only son



Then later there came wisemen

Bearing gifts and offerings

And Joseph led them all to see

And praise the new born king



And they said,

“Merry Christmas, Mary

Let us be the first to say,

Merry Christmas, Mary

The son of God has come to us today�



Tears of joy

Were gently flowing

Out of Joseph’s eyes

While up above the angels sang

“Glory to God!�



Merry Christmas, Mary

Let us be the first to say,

Merry Christmas, Mary

The son of God has come to us today

The son of God has come to us today
