They told me loves sweetest old story, They told me a wonderful name. It thrilled all my soul with its glory. It burned in my heart like a flame. They told me of One who so loved me that in heaven He could not remain. He came down to seek and to save me, Oh tell me His name again. Oh tell me His name again, and sing me that sweet old refrain of Him who in love, came down from above to die on the cross of shame. The story, my heart has stirred, the sweetest Ive ever heard. It banishes fear, it brings hope and cheer, Oh, tell me His name again. When the fullness of time has come, God sent forth His Son. Providence had directed the movement of nations and the tide of human impulse and influence, until the world was ripe for the coming of a deliverer. The nations were united under government, language was widely spoken and was everywhere recognized as the language of literature. From all the lands the Jews of the dispersion gathered to Jerusalem for the annual feast, and as these returned to place of sojourn, they can spread throughout the world the tidings of the Messiahs coming. The prophecy of Daniel veiled the time of His advent, but not all rightly understood the message. Century after century passed away. The voices of the prophets ceased. The hand of oppression was heavy upon Israel, and many were ready to exclaim [text on screen] But like the stars, and the vast circuit of their appointed path, Gods purpose knows no haste and no delay. So in heavens council the hour for the coming of Christ had been determined, even the birthplace of the Messiah was foretold [text on screen] And when the great clock of time pointed to that hour, Jesus was born in Bethlehem. Oh Beautiful Star of Bethlehem Shining afar through shadows dim Giving a Lamb to those who travel along, Guiding the wise men on their way Unto the place where Jesus lay Oh Beautiful Star of Bethlehem shine on. Oh Beautiful Star of Bethlehem Star of Bethlehem Shine upon us until the glory dawns. Give us a Lamb to light the way Unto the land of perfect day Oh Beautiful Star of Bethlehem, shine on. Oh Beautiful Star the hope of rest For the redeemed the good, the blessed Yonder in glory when the crown is won Jesus is now the star divine Brighter and brighter He will shine Oh Beautiful Star of Bethlehem shine on Oh Beautiful Star of Bethlehem Star of Bethlehem Shine upon us until the glory dawns. Give us a lamp to light the way Unto the land of perfect day Oh Beautiful Star of Bethlehem, shine on. Oh Beautiful Star of Bethlehem, shine on. The story of Bethlehem is an exhaustless theme. In it is hidden [text on screen] We marvel at the Saviors sacrifice, in exchanging the throne of heaven for the manger, and the companionship of adoring angels for the beasts of the stall. The King of Glory stooped low to take humanity. Love was when God became a man, locked in time and space without rank or place. Love was God born of Jewish kin, just a carpenter with some fishermen. Love was when Jesus walked in history. Lovingly, He bought a new life thats free. Love was God nailed to bleed and die, to reach and love one such as I. Love was when God became a man, Down where I could see love that reached to me; Love was God dying for my sin And so trapped was I my whole world caved in. Love was when Jesus met me, now its real; Lovingly He came, I can feel Hes real! feel Hes real! Know Hes real, I know Hes real, Hes real! Love was God only He would try, To reach, to love, To reach, to love, one such as I. to love, one such as I. The decree of imperial Rome for the enrollment of the peoples of her vast domain was extended to the dwellers among the hills of Bethlehem. Angels attended Joseph and Mary as they journeyed from their home in Nazareth to the City of David, she is of the lineage of David and the son of David must be born in Davids city. Out of Bethlehem said the prophet [text on screen] But in the city of their royal line, Joseph and Mary are unrecognized and unhonored. Weary, homeless, they traverse the entire link to the narrow streets, from the gate of city to the eastern extremity of the town, vainly seeking a resting place for the night. There is no room for them at the crowded inn. In a rude building where the beasts are sheltered, they at last find refuge, and here the Redeemer of the world is born. youtu.be/j6m8MI6qrvI
