Bethlehem Lullaby

Long ago there was born

Author: P. W. Blackmer
Tune: LUCY (Brahms)
Published in 14 hymnals

Representative Text

1 Long ago there was born
In the city of David
A sweet, holy Babe
Who was Jesus our King.
Angels sang at his birth,
"Lullaby, peace on earth,"
Angels sang at his birth,
"Lullaby, peace on earth."

2 Jesus came as a child
From his Father in heaven,
And has shown us the way
To be loving and kind,
While the stars sang above,
"Lullaby, God is love,"
While the stars sang above,
"Lullaby, God is love."
