Baptist Hymnal 1991 ‎#120

120. O Sing a Song of Bethlehem

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 flow'rs of Nazareth
In ev'ry 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 hil,
Of Him who walked upon the sea
And bade its waves be still;
For tho' 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 heav'n adored,
Is mighty now to save.
