670. The Virgin Mary had a baby boy

1 The Virgin Mary had a baby boy,
the Virgin Mary had a baby boy,
the Virgin Mary had a baby boy,
and they say that his name is Jesus.

Refrain:
He came from the glory,
he came from the glorious kingdom.
He came from the glory,
he came from the glorious kingdom.
O yes, believer.
O yes, believer.
He came from the glory,
he came from the glorious kingdom.

2 The angels sang when the baby was born,
the angels sang when the baby was born,
the angels sang when the baby was born,
and proclaimed him the Saviour Jesus. [Refrain]

3 The wise men saw where the baby was born,
the wise men saw where the baby was born,
the wise men saw where the baby was born,
and they saw his name is Jesus. [Refrain]
