Lyrics
Oh, Bethlehem town
There's a chill in the midnight air
Silence in the street
The whole town settles down
For a night of peaceful sleep
But tonight there's no rest
For a woman giving birth
Knowing she will soon deliver
God's grace to this earth
Oh, Bethlehem town
Chosen as the place
Where the love of God can be found
On a baby's face
For in a manger lies a little boy
Earth's only hope, heaven's greatest joy
Sent down to Bethlehem town
It could have been a palace built
With gold and fancy things
With a bed of satin
To welcome the new king
But instead an humble stall
Became His home today
Who would think that God Himself
Would honor you this way
Oh, Bethlehem town
Chosen as the place
Where the love of God can be found
On a baby's face
For in a manger lies a little boy
Earth's only hope, heaven's greatest joy
Sent down to Bethlehem town
The eyes of God that look down on the human race
Are looking up today from a child's face
Oh, Bethlehem town
Chosen as the place
Where the love of God can be found
On a baby's face
For in a manger lies a little boy
Earth's only hope, heaven's greatest joy
Sent down to Bethlehem town
Oh, Bethlehem town
