In Bethlehem a Newborn Boy
O little town of Bethlehem
Author: Bp. Phillips Brooks, 1835-1893 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #126 (1917) Topics: Bethlehem Christ born in Lyrics: 1 O little town of Bethlehem,
How still we see thee lie;
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by:
Yet in thy dark streets shineth
The everlasting Light;
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee to-night.
2 For Christ is born of Mary;
And gathered all above,
While mortals sleep, the angels keep
Their watch of wondering love.
O morning stars, together
Proclaim the holy birth,
And praises sing to God the King,
And peace to men on earth!
3 How silently, how silently,
The wondrous gift is given!
So God imparts to human hearts
The blessings of His heaven:
No ear may hear His coming;
But in this world of sin,
Where meek souls will receive Him, still
The dear Christ enters in.
4 O holy Child of Bethlehem,
Descend to us, we pray;
Cast out our sin, and enter in;
Be born in us to-day,
We hear the heavenly angels
The great glad tidings tell;
O come to us, abide with us,
Our Lord, Immanuel. Languages: English Tune Title: BETHLEHEM

If I Could Visit Bethlehem
Author: Brian Wren Hymnal: Worship and Song #3063 (2011) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Topics: Bethlehem; Bethlehem Lyrics: 1 If I could visit Bethlehem
what presents would I bring?
If I could see what happened then,
what would I say or sing?
I wouldn't take a modern toy
but gold to pay for bread,
some wine to give his parents joy
and wool to warm his bed.
2 I'd learn some simple words to speak
in Aramaic tongues.
I'd cradle him, and kiss his cheek,
and say, "I'm glad you've come."
If Mary asked me who I was
and what her child would do,
I wouldn't talk about the cross
or tell he all I knew.
3 I'd say, "He'll never hurt or kill,
and joy will follow tears.
We'll know his name and love him still
in twenty hundred years."
I cannot visit Bethlehem
but what I can, I'll do:
I'll love you, Jesus, as my friend,
and give my life to you. Scripture: Psalm 30:3 Languages: English Tune Title: CAROL STREAM

How Far It Was to Bethlehem
Author: Mary Nelson Keithahn Hymnal: Faith That Lets Us Sing #42 (2017) Topics: Christmas Journey to Bethlehem Lyrics: 1 How far it was to Bethlehem
for Mary, great with child,
and Joseph, trusted with the one
upon whom God had smiled!
From Nazareth to Jericho,
then up a long, steep road,
they journeyed on to David’s town
with their most precious load.
2 They could not find a place to stay
save in a stable stall,
and there amid the animals
was born the Lord of all.
The heavens burst with angel-song
to shepherds on the hill:
“The Christ is born and peace will come
to people of good will.”
3 The shepherds hurried off to find
this new-born baby boy.
“The Promised One is here, at last!
Our hearts are filled with joy!”
They knelt before his manger bed,
and gazed upon the face
that showed in its sweet countenance
Love’s gift of peace and grace.
4 How far it is to Bethlehem
for us who live today,
who bear the burdens of our doubts
and do not trust Love’s way.
God, as we journey on in life,
let angel-songs ne’er cease,
that, like the shepherds, we may find
in Christ a hope for peace.
Scripture: Luke 2:4-5 Languages: English Tune Title: JERICHO ROAD

O Sing a Song of Bethlehem
Author: Louis F. Benson Hymnal: The Worshiping Church #192 (1990) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Topics: Biblical Places Bethlehem, Nazareth, Galilee Lyrics: 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.
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.
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.
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.
Scripture: Micah 5:2 Languages: English Tune Title: KINGSFOLD
