| 1 One night, long ago, over Bethlehem’s plain The stars shone with radiant light; Th shepherds were watching their flocks where they lay, When suddenly burst on their sight A vision of angels, who sang a sweet song Of peace and goodwill unto men, “A Savior is born,” cried the heavenly throng, “In a manger in Bethlehem.” Chorus: Seeking, they sought till they found Him, Jesus, the Savior of men; Humbly they knelt and adored Him, In a manger in Bethlehem. 2 Three wise men beheld a most wonderful star, Announcing the birth of a King; It showed them the way from their countries afar, Their presents and homage to bring; In great kingly palace they sought Him, but then The star’s light was hidden from them; They found Him, at last, in the sweet virgin’s care, In a manger in Bethlehem. [Chorus] 3 So still we must seek Him with longing untold, With purpose unchanging and true; We cannot bring off’rings of incense and gold, His infant face we cannot view; But we may His glorious gospel adorn, Give glory unto His great name; To all we may tell of the Christ who was born In a manger in Bethlehem. [Chorus] | Light and Life Songs No. 4 #156 (1928) |
