In the wilderness of Bethlehem
Song
1. In the wilderness of Bethlehem, ; In the care of shepherds, ; Great good news was announced. ; For in the barn of the cattle, ; In the manger of oxen, donkeys, ; Our Savior was born. ; ; 2. The Messiah came, ; Whom the scripture foretold, ; In the harsh cold. ; He could not find lodging for himself, ; Rather they ordered it to someone else, ; In all of Bethlehem.
