Bethlehem
Hymnal: Children's Hymnal #162 (1957) First Line: Winds through the olive trees Lyrics: 1 Winds through the olive trees
Softly did blow,
Round little Bethlehem,
Long, long ago.
Sheep on the hillside lay
Whiter than snow;
Shepherds were watching them
Long, long ago.
2 Then from the happy sky,
Angels bent low,
Singing their songs of joy,
Long, long ago.
For in a manger bed,
Cradled we know,
Christ came to Bethlehem
Long, long ago. Topics: Songs Suitable for Primary; Songs Suitable for Juniors; Jesus' Birth; Christmas Languages: English Tune Title: [Winds through the olive trees]

Person Name: Anon. Author of "Long, Long Ago" in Hymns of Childhood In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.

Born in 1858, Wilmot attended Rutgers College where he sang in the Glee Club, a touring group he would eventually direct. An advance notice of the group’s Christmas 1887 performance in Richmond, Va. declared: “The club is composed of fourteen members, has been in existence fifteen years, and has won for itself a reputation second to no other college club in the country.” (Richmond Dispatch, 7). Around 1889, Wilmot was also recorded in performance as the bass player in the New Brunswick Opera House orchestra conducted by Fred. A. Hart (Raritan, 17).
In the late 1800s, Wilmot married Mary Deshler (July 19, 1867-July 28, 1962), whose family was closely tied to Christ Church (Episcopal) in New Brunswick (Genealogical, 474). The couple had two sons, James Deshler Wilmot (1891-1939) George William Wilmot Jr. (1892-1981), both of whom attended Rutgers College (Yearbooks, 1912).

Wilmot served as Choirmaster of Christ Church (Episcopal), New Brunswick, from 1885-1930. “Wilmot had been a pupil of Joseph Barnby in [Barnby’s] native England” and led a choir of men and boys. This men and boys choir sang for the first time on Easter Day 1894. Wilmot also served the community as Music Supervisor of the New Brunswick Public Schools (Trautman, 3). Wilmot was a member of the American Guild of Organists and published several songs for youth in The Westminster Primary Quarterly (ed., J. T. Faris).
