Published by jmsgu3 (A0.1329437)."O Little Town of Bethlehem" is a beloved Christmas carol with an exciting history. It was written by Phillips Brooks in 1868 for the Sunday school children at his Philadelphia parish, Holy Trinity Church, following a pilgrimage to Bethlehem in 1865. The hymn beautifully describes the little town asleep on the December night. It gracefully modulates from a description of Christmas into examining the meaning of Christmas, encouraging charity, faith, and the coming of Christ into the human heart. The hymn is generally sung to its original tune, "St. Louis" by Louis H. Redner in the United States, and to "Forest Green" by Ralph Vaughan Williams in the United Kingdom, Canada, and Ireland. The hymn has continued to be a favorite for many people as they celebrate Christmas.
