IN A TOWN CALLED BETHLEHEM
Copyright © 1998 Van Wood
V1
In a little town called Bethlehem, long ago and far away,
In a cattle stall a newborn king lay sleeping on the hay.
And the angels sang and the shepherds came
Came to worship Him
In a town called Bethlehem, in a town called Bethlehem.
V2
There was no room in the crowded inn on that first Christmas night
For the prince of Peace, God’s gift of love
Who came to bring us light.
And the angels sang and the shepherds came
Came to worship Him
In a town called Bethlehem, in a town called Bethlehem.
Bridge
Oh the glory of the story that the shepherds tell
Hallelujah! God is with us, Our Emmanuel.
And the angels sang and the shepherds came
Came to worship Him
In a town called Bethlehem, in a town called Bethlehem. (repeat last line at end).
