Many Christmases Ago Lyrics - Marty Robbins

There were shepherds in the field that night 

And thay saw a star that shone so bright 

And to them the angel's message was told 

Many, many Christmases ago 

And they heard good tidings of great joy 

(And they heard good tidings of great joy) 

T'was the birthday of a baby boy 

(T'was the birthday of a baby boy) 

Who was born to save our very souls 

Many, many Christmases ago 

Come, oh come, and greet the newborn child 

Born of mother Mary, so gentle and mild 

In our hearts the child is born again 

And he offers peace, good will to men 

For the message lives, the shepherds were told 

Many, many Christmases ago 

Let us lay our gifts before the king 

(Let us lay our gifts before the king) 

And in joyful voices, let us sing 

(And in joyful voices, let us sing) 

For to us the angel's message is told 

As it was so many Christmases ago 

Come, oh come, and greet the newborn child 

Born of mother Mary, so gentle and mild 

Many, many Christmases ago
