Chorus:

1. In the little village of Bethlehem,

There lay a child one day,

And the sky was bright with a holy light,

O'er the place where Jesus lay.

Alleluia! O how the angels sang,

Alleluia! how it rang;

And the sky was bright with a holy light,
'Twas the birthday of a King.

2. 'T was a humble birth-place,

But oh! how much God gave to us that day;
From the manger bed what a path has led,
What a perfect holy way!

(CHORUS)

4. And so through all the length of days,
Thy goodness faileth never:
Good shepherd may I sing thy praise

Within thy house forever.

-H. W. BAKER (1868)

XVI-SONG SENTENCE (BY PUPILS OF THE ELEMENTARY DIVISION)—
