Once in Bethlehem of Judah (EN 2660)

EN 2660 Once in Bethlehem of Judah

Mic.5.2

Versi Version 1

1

Once in Bethlehem of Judah,

Far away across the sea,

There was laid a little Baby

On a virgin mother’s knee.

O Savior, gentle Savior,

Hear Thy loving children sing,

The God of our salvation,

The Child that is a King.

2

It was not a stately palace

Where that little Baby lay,

With His servants to attend Him,

And with guards to keep the way.

3

But the oxen stood around Him,

In a stable low and dim;

In the world He had created

There was not a room for Him.

4

For He left His Father’s glory,

And the golden halls above,

And He took our human nature,

In the greatness of His love.

5

Of His infinite compassion,

He can feel our want and woe;

For He suffered, He was tempted,

When He lived our life below.

6

Still His childhood’s bright example

Gives a light to our poor homes;

From the blood of His atoning

Still our hope of pardon comes.

7

Still He stands and pleads in Heaven,

For us, weak and sin-defiled;

God, who is a man for ever,

Jesus, who was once a child.
