O Bethlehem Town
Martins
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
