Original text and translations

English text 1. O sing a song of Bethlehem, of shepherds watching there, And of the news that came to them from angels in the air. The light that shone on Bethlehem fills all the world today; Of Jesus’ birth and peace on earth the angels sing alway. 2. O sing a song of Nazareth, of sunny days of joy; O sing of fragrant flowers’ breath, and of the sinless Boy. For now the flowers of Nazareth in every heart may grow; Now spreads the fame of His dear Name on all the winds that blow. 3. O sing a song of Galilee, of lake and woods and hill, Of Him Who walked upon the sea and bade the waves be still. For though like waves on Galilee, dark seas of trouble roll, When faith has heard the Master’s Word, falls peace upon the soul. 4. O sing a song of Calvary, its glory and dismay, Of Him Who hung upon the tree, and took our sins away. For He Who died on Calvary is risen from the grave, And Christ, our Lord, by Heaven adored, is mighty now to save. Lyrics: Louis F. Benson, 1889.

English text I heard the voice of Jesus say, ‘Come unto me and rest; lay down, thou weary one, lay down thy head upon my breast:’ I came to Jesus as I was, so weary, worn and sad; I found in him a resting-place, and he has made me glad. I heard the voice of Jesus say, ‘Behold, I freely give the living water, thirsty one; stoop down and drink and live:’ I came to Jesus, and I drank of that life-giving stream; my thirst was quenched, my soul revived, and now I live in him. I heard the voice of Jesus say, ‘I am this dark world’s light; look unto me, thy morn shall rise, and all thy day be bright:’ I looked to Jesus, and I found in him my star, my sun; and in that light of life I’ll walk till travelling days are done. Words: Horatius Bonar (1808-1889)
