From Bethlehem in Judah 4-Part - Digital Sheet Music

v. 1. From Bethlehem in Judah, a prophecy foretold

Of One Who would rule Israel, Who was from days of old.

This town, as unassuming and small though it might be,

Would be a place of Sovereign grace that changed all history.

v. 2. In Bethlehem in Judah, a favored family grew.

The faith of Rahab saved her life and Boaz married Ruth,

God’s former foes converted by His most gracious hand.                                      

This line produced a royal house; King David ruled the land.

v. 3. In Bethlehem in Judah a virgin bore a Son.

Our God had come in human flesh. The curse would be undone.

By grace the world’s salvation laid in a manger bed.

The Bread of Life was nourished there within the house of bread.*

v. 4. By Bethlehem in Judah, a field was filled with grace

As shepherds watched the night sky shine and saw an angel’s face.

"Don’t be afraid," he told them, "My news brings peace and joy.

A Savior has been born to you; He’s Mary’s baby boy."

v. 5. From Bethlehem in Judah, redemption would proceed,

For we have all been wandering souls, and grace is what we need.

When standing strong, our Shepherd laid down His life for sheep,

And we, His flock, securely dwell. This One will be our peace.

 *Bethlehem means "house of bread."

 Tune: GRACE OF BETHLEHEM
