As I walked in Bethlehem (And there I walked alone), Such gladness filled my beating heart As I had never known Broader seemed the narrow streets As brighter grew the day I heard the bells of heav’n ring out From not so far away As I walked in Bethlehem Before the sun was high, A woman’s crooning voice I heard, I heard a baby’s cry. And glory, glory! sang my soul The while I thought and trod Between the lifted gates of pearl, The golden streets of God. -Text by Audrey Alexandra Brown • Communion Hymn: 146 ‘Twas in the Moon of Wintertime • Closing Hymn: 135 Shepherds in the Field Abiding • Organ: Noël Parisien, Op. 26, No. 4 – Charles Quef (1873-1931)
