The Child of Bethlehem

Author: Marian Froelich Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.6.8.6.8.6.8.6 Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Now to the Child of Bethlehem Lyrics: 1. Now to the Child of Bethlehem, And to the holy night; Of kings who came with many a gem, A joyous song indite! Sing of the star that gladdened then The wondering Magi’s sight; And of descending angels when Wide swung the gates of light! Now to the Child of Bethlehem, And to the holy night; Of kings who came with many a gem, A joyous song indite! 2. Sing of the message that they brought, The news of peace and joy; Of where the faithful shepherds sought The royal infant Boy! Sing how they found His cradle bed, His lowly natal place; A golden halo round His head, And beaming from His face! Sing of the message that they brought, The news of peace and joy; Of where the faithful shepherds sought The royal infant Boy! 3. Sing of the reign, that then began, Of love instead of strife; Of men reclaimed from error’s ban, And walking in new life. All glory be to God on high, Praise Him for Jesus’ birth! Ring out, O song! o’er earth and sky Peace and goodwill on earth! Sing of the reign, that then began, Of love instead of strife; Of men reclaimed from error’s ban, And walking in new life.
