Strength will come when least expected,
in the time of greatest need,
in the homes of humble people,
God will sow a gracious seed.
In a town, once disregarded,
hope was coming to the earth,
here in Bethlehem, this hamlet,
Love would come by human birth.
Verses 3-4 follow
Tune: ALL FOR JESUS; LAUS DEO (Redhead)
