The light that shone on Bethlehem fills all the world today; of Jesus' birth and peace on earth the angels sing alway. 2 O sing a song of Nazareth, of sunny days of joy, O sing of fragrant flowers' breath, and of the sinless Boy; for now the flowers of Nazareth in every heart may grow; now spreads the fame of His dear name on all the winds that blow. 3 O sing a song of Galilee, of lake and woods and hill, of Him who walked upon the sea and made its waves be still; for though, like waves on Galilee, dark seas of trouble roll, when faith has heard the Master's word, falls peace upon the soul. 4 O sing a song of Calvary, its glory and dismay; of Him who hung upon the tree and took our sins away. For He who died on Calvary is risen from the grave, and Christ, our Lord, by heaven adored, is mighty now to save. Used With Tune: KINGSFOLD

Hail, hail the Word made flesh, the Babe, the Son of Mary! 3 So bring Him incense, gold, and myrrh, come peasant, king, to own Him; the King of kings salvation brings, let loving hearts enthrone Him.
