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 on 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 bade its waves be still: For tho' 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 heav'n adored, Is mighty now to save.
