One Night in Bethlehem
1. In the little hamlet of Bethlehem,
The villagers gathered one night;
Have you seen, have you seen,
Have you ever seen a star so big and so bright?
2. And they looked at the trees there in Bethlehem,
The groves of olive and palm;
Have you seen, have you seen,
Have you ever seen the leaves so peaceful and calm?
3. In the light of the star over Bethlehem,
The shepherds stood watch on a hill;
Have you seen, have you seen,
Have you ever seen the sheep so quiet and still?
4. In the little hamlet of Bethlehem,
They heard the angels sing;
Have you been, have you been to the manger near the inn?
Christ is born, our Savior and King.
