	Story Behind the Song Words by Phillips Brooks. Music by Lewis H. Redner Copyright (C) Ardee Music Publishing, Inc. This arrangement by Steve W. Smith ASCAP Copyright 2002 by Sted Records Music. About This Song: Phillips Brooks, one of 19th-century America's best-loved preachers, was ministering to a Philadelphia church when he wrote his now-famous verses at Christmastime in 1868. He had journeyed to the Holy Land three years earlier, and the memory was, he said, "still singin in my soul." His organist, Lewis Redner, who was professionally a highly succesful real-estate broker and on Sundays a leader in the Sunday school, set Brooks' words to music for the church's children's choir, and "O Little Town Of Bethlehem" was subsequently taken up by the rest of the world.
