THE MAIL-JOURNAL Wed., Dec. 5,1973 Carol was composed in dream “Oh, Little Town of Bethlehem, how still we see thee lie. Above thy deep and dreamless sleep, the silent stars go by.” The words and music to this lovely Christmas carol were written in Philadelphia in 1868. The young pastor of the Church of the Holy Trinity was recalling his first view of Christ’s birthplace as he rode toward it on horseback from Jerusalem. Phillips Brooks was 26 when he was called from a smaller Philadelphia church, where his sermons had attracted attention. to be rector of fashionable Holy Trinity on Rittenhouse Square. At 30 he took a leave of absence and traveled through Europe and the Holy three years later that he wrote down the words to the famous carol. He was preparing Christmas services for the young people when he wrote down these four stanzas. “See what you can do with them,” he said to his organist, Lewis H. Redner who had already written the music for God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen for another writer. Saturday, the day before the Christinas rehearsals were to begin. Brooks asked if the music had been finished. “Not yet,” replied Redner, “but you will have it in the morning.’’ Besides being Sunday organist and weekday real estate broker, Redner taught Sunday School, later becoming superintendent. “Late that night,” wrote the organist, “I was roused from sleep hearing an angel strain whispering in my ear. Seizing a piece of paper, I jotted down the treble of the tune as we know it now. Before going to church next morning. I filled in the harmony. Neither Mr. Brooks nor I ever thought the carol or the music would live beyond that Christmas in 1868.” When, after 8 years, Brooks left Holy Trinity, he brought the carol with him back to Boston. It soon became a favorite of New England churches of all denominations. They felt it almost a prayer. “How silently, how silently, the wondrous gift is given. So God imparts to human hearts the blessings of his Heaven. No ear may hear his coming, but in this world of sin when meek souls will receive Him still, the dear Christ enters in.” What has been thought of as the original copy.of the words and music of “Oh, Little Town of Bethlehem” bound in red leather was auctioned off at Samuel T. Freeman & Co. in Philadelphia, November 18, 1924. This consisted of five stanzas, eight lines each and was bought by a dealer for S9O. The dealer later moved to Washington, D.C., where he died. Although an intense search was made, this manuscript was never located. (“If the vestry of the church had only been aware of this sale, it would have bid much higher.”) In 1891 Brooks became Bishop, but the great energy he threw into his work finally took its toll, and he died four years later after a short illness on January 23,1893 at the age of 58. Much of the popularity of “Oh, little Town of Bethlehem” is due to the music of Lewis H. Redner. Had it been less inspired one might never have heard of the carol. €bougbts From The Living Bible In the book written by the prophet Isaiah, God announced that he would send his Son to earth, and that a -special messenger would arrive first to prepare the world for his coming. “This messenger will live out in the barren wilderness,” Isaiah said, “and will proclaim that everyone must straighten out his life to be ready for the Lord’s arrival.” This messenger was John the Baptist. He lived in the wilderness and taught that all should be baptized as a public announcement of their-decision to turn their backs on sin, so that God could forgive them.
