In Bethlehem

Oh, let it play,

Hope’s sacred hymn

And may its music

Never dim

Of joy and peace

Love’s diadem

Sent to mankind

In Bethlehem

Forgiveness for

Each hurting wrong

Oh, let this be

Our ageless song

As One Fair Morn

Brought hope to men

A Savior born

In Bethlehem

Oh, let it ring

And never cease

This Jesus-King

This Prince of Peace

Fills man with hope

As He did then

So long ago

In Bethlehem

Then let Love’s anthem

Reach God’s throne

And let its message

Be made known

Of Christ the Lord

He sent to men

His Living Word

In Bethlehem

Oh, fill the rift

From sky to sky

Salvation’s gift

Will never die

In manger laid

Jesus became

Hope wrapped as Babe

In Bethlehem
