Several errors here and in the DT re Mary's Boy Child.

1. As mentioned above, the Boney M. arrangment combines two different songs: Mary's Boy Child and O My Lord.

2. In "Oh, My Lord," the line "Oh a moment still worth was a glow"
should be:
"For a moment the world was aglow."

3. As Mysha pointed out, there are more lyrics to "Oh, My Lord" than just the ones comingled with "Mary's Boy Child" in the DT.

4. In "Oh, My Lord," the line "He is a personation" is - I'm pretty sure -
"He is the new creation."

5. The Hal Leonard Fakebook leaves out a whole verse of MBC.

Here's the whole song, pretty much exactly as Harry Belafonte sings it:

MARY'S LITTLE BOY CHILD
(Jester Hairston)

Long time ago in Bethlehem,
So the Holy Bible say,
Mary's boy child, Jesus Christ,
Was born on Christmas Day.

Hark now hear the angels sing,
A new King born today,
And man will live for evermore
Because of Christmas Day.

Trumpets sound and angels sing.
Listen what they say:
That man will live for evermore
Because of Christmas Day.

While shepherds watch their flock by night,
Then saw a bright, new, shining star,
Then hear a choir sing;
The music seemed to come from afar.

Now, Joseph and his wife, Mary,
Came to Bethlehem that night.
Then found no place to born sweet child,
Not a single room was in sight.

Hark, now hear the angels sing:
"A new king born today,
And man will live for evermore
Because of Christmas day."

Trumpets sound and angels sing.
Listen what they say:
That man will live for evermore
Because of Christmas day.

By 'n' by they find a little nook
In a stable all forlorn,
And in a manger cold and dark
Mary's little boy was born.

Long time ago in Bethlehem,
So the Holy Bible say,
Mary's Boy Child, Jesus Christ.

Hark, now hear the angels sing:
"A new king born today,
And man will live for evermore
Because of Christmas day."

Trumpets sound and angels sing.
Listen what they say:
That man will live for evermore
Because of Christmas day.
