Bethlehem

Bethlehem’s beau­ti­ful, beau­ti­ful star.
O come and behold Him, born the King of Angels
And all that there be­fell.
Jesus to­day is born a king;
how still we see thee lie
Jesus to­day is born a king;
the Son of God by name
the Son of God by name
Hark the voic­es clear,
Glory to God in the high­est!
Kings of tribes far off and old­en,
Lo! in a manger lies the God Almighty;
None can once with thee com­pare;
Tell us, ye birds, why come ye here,
Who shall all thy glo­ry tell?
Tell us, ye birds, why come ye here,
Out of thee the Lord from Heav­en
end
Him whose birth the angels sing;
Oh, what a Sav­ior is mine!
