O! Bethlehem

O! Bethlehem, how blessed you are
For on that night many beheld your special star.
Angels sang hallelujah and praise the Lord
Heavenly choirs sang a joyous angelic cord.
Jesus the Christ would be one name he would bear,
The one who loves, the one that cares
The king was born on that long age night
not in a palace...
But in a humble stable with the animals in sight.
O! Bethlehem how blessed you are
On that night so many saw the star.
Shepherds feared, as Angels appeared
Nothing like this had happened before
"Fear not" was their heavenly song.
"Unto you Christ the Lord is born."
You will find Him wrapped in swaddling clothes
Only a manger to lay that Holy baby toes.
A simple family in God's Holy plan
The Babe, the Savior of all sinful man.
O! Bethlehem how blessed you are
On that night so many saw the star.
The star did guide those ancient Wise men
To the City of David O! Bethlehem.
They traveled to worship a new king
The Holy One that the angel did sing.
They found a humble babe born in a manger
To His own He was a stranger.
Shepherds feared, as the Angels appeared
To announce the King's Holy Birth.
Gold , frankscence and myrrh were the Gifts
Wise men brought of royal worth.
O! Bethlehem how blessed you are
On that night so many saw the star.
The King of both Heaven and Earth
was born a humble birth.
Our Lord was born in a stable.
It's is Jesus's life story
Not some legend or fable.
O! Bethlehem, how blessed you are
On that night so many saw your star.
