O BETHLEHEM OF HOLY WORTH
Edward C. Currie / Traditional Irish Melody (C.O'S.)
| 1 |
O Bethlehem of holy worth ! O hallowed town of Jesus' birth ! In thee a virgin mother's Child Brought God from heav'n to earth. |
| 2 |
No inn bade welcome at its door To Mary on that holy night; But in a stable Christ was born, With only stars for light. |
| 3 |
No pomp of kings, nor princes there, With Joseph and the mother fair ; But angel voices from on high, With glory filled the air. |
| 4 |
O Bethlehem, we pray the Babe, Once born within thy cheerless cave, May grant the promised 'Peace on earth' To us He came to save. |
