Rector Phillips Brooks (1835-1903) of Philadelphia, wrote the words to "O Little Town of Bethlehem" in 1868, following a pilgrimage to the Holy Land. He was 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 the Sunday school children's choir.
