O Sing a Song of Bethlehem

Verse 1

O sing a song of Bethlehem, Of shepherds watching there, And of the news that came to them From angels in the air: The light that shone on Bethlehem Fills all the world today; Of Jesus' birth and peace on earth The angels sing alway.

Verse 2

O sing a song of Nazareth, Of sunny days of joy, O sing of fragrant flowers' breath, And of the sinless boy: For now the flow'rs of Nazareth In ev'ry heart may grow; Now spreads the fame of his dear name On all the winds that blow.

Verse 3

O sing a song of Galilee, Of lake and woods and hill, Of him who walked upon the sea And bade the waves be still: For though, like waves on Galilee, Dark seas of trouble roll, When faith has heard the Master's word, Falls peace upon the soul.

Verse 4

O sing a song of Calvary, Its glory and dismay; Of him who hung upon the tree, And took our sins away: For he who died on Calvary Is risen from the grave, And Christ, our Lord, by heav'n adored, Is mighty now to save.
