O Beautiful Bethlehem!

Author: Mrs. R. N. Turner Hymnal: Light and Life Songs No. 3 #57 (1918) First Line: O beautiful Bethlehem, home of the Lord Refrain First Line: O beautiful Bethlehem, lovely and fair Lyrics: 1 O beautiful Bethlehem, home of the Lord, What a joy and what glory were thine! Although there is blessing that reacheth to all, He crown’d thee with honor divine. Refrain: O beautiful Bethlehem, lovely and fair, The joy of thy wonderful night Is thrilling our hearts with its rapture today, With praises and songs of delight. 2 He chose for his cradle the arms of thy love, A manger his sacred abode! The child who was born to redeem us from sin, Immanuel, Son of the Lord! [Refrain] 3 The heart that receives him as Master and Lord Must lowly and reverent be, And noble and worthy, in palace or stall,— O Bethlehem, like unto thee! [Refrain] 4 A light doth surround thee, O Bethlehem fair, Thou home of the Savior divine! That far o’er the world, in its radiance bright, With glory increasing doth shine. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [O beautiful Bethlehem, home of the Lord]

Philadelphia, PA, 1921) received his musical training from his father and several other private teachers. A carpenter by trade, he engaged in the furniture business from 1862 to 1878.
