Tune: St Edmund
('Songs of thankfulness and praise')
Matthew 2 v.6
**********
Town of Bethlehem, you be
In the land of Judah, see
You are not the least among
The towns, let praise be sung
For from you shall come one who
Shall govern and rule, 'tis true
Rule God's people Israel
And o'er all nations, we tell
At your glad Epiphany
Lord reveal, even to me
Yourself, so may we you know
In what to us you do show
Light of the world shining bright
Dawn now on our human sight
Forgive sins, darkness be gone
Through Christ Jesus, God's own Son
Light and love and fellowship
United in whole worship
May we be, and follow you
And your clear way may we view
Lord of Jews and Gentiles too
Salvation to not a few
Woerthy of our highest praise
Melodies to you we raise

I particularly like this one Orchi in that it mentions forgiveness. We ask it of God and others but so seldom give it.
Thanks SB.
Good one Orchi.
Thanks Gold.
