In Bethlehem He First Came Lyrics - Singles - Traditional New England Carol

In Bethlehem he first came 

God himself born as a babe 

The humble manger he was placed 

Became the home of one who saves 

Jesus Christ the incarnation 

The prophets of old foretold his coming 

The shepherds honored his humble station 

The lowly babe who saved the nations 

To Egypt they fled, babe and all 

At the angels word to wisemen tall 

They came to honor the Son of God 

Following the star from near and far 

In Nazareth they made their home 

Near Jez-reel Jesus grew tall 

In stature and wisdom he grew in favor 

The sacrifice of nations, the hope of us all
