| O Little Town of Bethlehem ! Rector Phillips Brooks (1835-1903) of Philadelphia, wrote the words to the carol O Little Town of Bethlehem in 1868, following a pilgrimage to the Holy Land. He is said to have been inspired by the view of Bethlehem from the hills of Palestine especially at night time hence the lyrics of O Little Town of Bethlehem. His church organist Lewis Redner (1831-1908) wrote the melody to O Little Town of Bethlehem for their Sunday school children's choir. |
