O Sing a Song of Bethlehem

Author: Louis F. Benson Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 66 hymnals 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.
