O Bethlehem town
There's a chill in the midnight air
Silence in the street
The whole town settles down
For a night of peaceful sleep
But tonight, there's no rest
For a woman giving birth
Knowing she will soon deliver
God's grace in this earth
O Bethlehem town
Chosen as the place
Where the love of God can be found
On a baby's face
For in a manger lies a little boy
Earth's only hope
And heaven's greatest joy sent down
To Bethlehem town
It could have been a place built
With gold and fancy things
With a bed of satin
To welcome the new King
But instead, a humble stall
Because His home today
Who would think that God Himself
Would honor you this way
O Bethlehem town
Chosen as the place
Where the love of God can be found
On a baby's face
For in a manger lies a little boy
Earth's only hope
And heaven's greatest joy sent down
To Bethlehem town
The eyes of God that looked
Down on this human race
Are looking up today
From a child's face
O Bethlehem town
Chosen as the place
Where the love of God can be found
On a baby's face
For in a manger lies a little boy
Earth's only hope
And heaven's greatest joy sent down
To Bethlehem town
O Bethlehem town
