O Little Town Of Bethlehem
2. 0 Little Town of Bethlehem
Words: Rev. Phillip Brooks/Music: Traditional English Folk Tune The Reverend Brooks actually visited the Holy Land, and was in Bethlehem at the church of the Nativity in 1865 on Christmas Eve. He worked on his original inspiration for three years, completing it in 1868. A copy of the words, in the author's hand,was found in the archives of The Church of the Holy Trinity in Philadelphia, where he once served as Rector. This album is dedicated to my
children: Ryan, Brennan and I Laura Murphey and to the
/parishioners of St. James Episcopal
Church in Taos, New Mexico
