Background 👇 "Mary's Boy Child / Oh My Lord" is a 1978 Christmas single by Boney M., a cover of Harry Belafonte's 1956 hit, put in medley with the new song "Oh My Lord". The single was recorded in a hurry in early November, included in the group's live set and rushed out at the end of the month, topping the UK Singles Chart for four weeks and became Christmas number one in the UK, spending eight weeks in the charts. It has sold 1.89 million units as of November 2015. It was the second single for the group in the UK's all-time best selling singles list. The song was later included in the group's Christmas Album, issued in 1981. In the United States, the track reached number 85 on the Billboard Hot 100, Boney M's last of four singles to chart there. In 2017, it experienced somewhat of a resurgence and peaked at number 89 on the Holiday 100.[3] In certain areas of the U.S., the medley can sometimes be heard during the Thanksgiving/Christmas holiday season on radio stations which change to temporary all-Christmas music formats. Lyrics 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 flocks 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 Mmh-mmh Mmh-hmm Mmh-mmh Mmh-mmh-hmm Mmh-mmh-mmh-hmm Mmh-hmm-mmh-mmh 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) With the child's adoration Oh my lord (He is a personation) 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) You sent Your son to save us Oh my Lord (this day will live forever) Your very self You gave us Oh my Lord (so praise the Lord) Hashtags #boneym #marysboychild #ohmylord #christmasmusic #guitarplayalong #guitarchords #chordchart #guitartabs #guitarlesson #guitartutorial #guitar #classicrock #classroommusic #70smusic #christmas #disco #planetguitar
