O sleep o sleep sweet Bethlehem
though you know not The savior who’s come on this day
Surrounded by treasures and wise men of east
Proclaimed by the shepherds and angels who fell at his feet
And yet he sleeps so silently still
He crept in unnoticed through this world’s back door
In sweet Bethlehem
O hark o hark Jerusalem
Though we’ve left out the promise we were told to keep
Steadfast forgotten and forsaken our Lord
You gave to corruption , we’re people who’s loaded with guilt
And yet you act so graciously still
You crept in unnoticed through this world’s back door
Jerusalem
O speak O speak Israel
Though we’re merely all sinners who’s fallen too short
Of your meekness and grace we are trying to hold
And we’re patiently waiting for our savior to reign on his throne
To us a child here was born
You crept in unnoticed through this world’s back door
Israel
O rise o rise Son of man
As you suffered there quietly up on that cross
Turned away YWHW your father did He
For the wages of our sin is to death and your blood we have preciously spilt
But rise will you on this glorious day
You’ll not return unnoticed as the world proclaimed
Sweet victory
