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 flowers
of Nazareth
in every 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 heaven adored,
is mighty now to save.
