Thread Name: Lyr Req: A Child Is Born
Subject: A Child Is Born
I'm looking for what I think is an old hymn, perhaps Lutheran. Heard it on Garrison Keilor's Prairie Home Companion, a 1996 Christmas radio show - I think. Here's the text, but no title and I can't find the music.

It begins:

A Child is born in Bethlehem, Bethlehem That gladdens all Jerusalem,.Halleluiah. Halleluiah.

And the Chorus is:

Along our way, the bright stars shine, The happiness of all mankind.

The angels teach us harmonies That echo through the centuries.

And someday angels we shall be And Jesus' gentle face we'll see.

We'll sing His praises without end, our brother, Savior and our friend.

Thanks for any help you might be!!
