Author: Louis Fitzgerald Benson, 1855-1930 Hymnal: The Irish Presbyterian Hymnbook #354 (2004) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D 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 its 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. Topics: Jesus Christ His Life and Ministry Languages: English Tune Title: KINGSFOLD
