In Bethlehem a Babe Was Born
1. In Bethlehem a Babe was born
With love enough for all.
While kingdoms slept, the Lord came down
To grace a manger stall.
And with a glorious light
Angels appeared that night,
Singing, "Come, come, Christ is born!
Come, come, world forlorn.
The Child of peace and sacrifice is waiting to be found."
2. Royalty and shepherds came
To worship from afar,
Guided through the long cold night
By one persistent star.
As each beheld the Son,
Strangers became as one,
Singing, "Come, come, Christ is born!
Come, come, world forlorn.
The Child of peace and sacrifice is waiting to be found."
3. The mystery of Bethlehem
Was long ago, they say,
But, miracle of miracles,
The Baby lives today
In each new heart that hears
Love coming through the years,
Singing, "Come, come, Christ is born!
Come, come, world forlorn.
The Child of peace and sacrifice is waiting to be found."
