1
O sing a song of Bethlehem
Of shepherds watching there
And of the news that came to them
From angels in the air
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 of 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 though 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 heaven adored
Is mighty now to save
