From Bethlehem to Calvary

Author: Meredith Nicholson, 1866-1947 Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1. From Bethlehem to Calvary, The Savior’s journey lay; Doubt, unbelief, scorn, fear and hate Beset Him day by day, But in His heart He bore God’s love That brightened all the way. 2. O’er the Judean hills He walked, Serene and brave of soul, He sought the beaten paths of men, He touched and made them whole; He died at last for love of man, On Calvary’s darkened knoll. 3. He went with patient steps and slow, As one who scatters seed; Like a fierce hunger in His heart, He felt the world’s great need, And the negations Moses gave He changed to loving deed. 4. From Bethlehem to Calvary The world still follows on, E’en as the halt and blind of old Along His path were drawn; Through Calvary’s clouds they seek the light That led Him to the dawn.
