In the Manger of Bethlehem

I need to find the music for this hymn:

In the Manger of Bethlehem

One night long ago over Bethlehem's plain

The stars shone with radiant light;

The shepherds were watching their flocks where they lay,

When suddenly burst on their sight

A vision of angels, who sang a sweet song

Of peace and good-will unto men:

"A Saviour is born," cried the heavenly throng,

"In a manger in Bethlehem."

Chorus:

Seeking, they sought till they found Him,

Jesus, the Saviour of men;

Humbly they knelt and adored Him,

In the manger of Bethlehem.

Three wise men beheld a most wonderful star,

Announcing the birth of a King;

It showed them the way from their countries afar,

Their presence and homage to bring;

In great kingly palace they sought Him, but then

The star's light was hidden from them;

They found Him, at last, in the sweet virgin's care,

In a manger in Bethlehem.

(Chorus)

So still we must seek Him with longing untold,

With purpose unchanging and true;

We cannot bring off'rings of incense and gold,

His infant face we cannot view;

But we may His glorious gospel adorn,

Give glory unto His great name;

To all we may tell of the Christ who was born

In a manger in Bethlehem.

(Chorus)

This song is my Grandma's favorite Christmas song. She is 91 years old, and my strength and inspiration. I am hosting Christmas for the first time this year and she is coming. I really want to find this music so that I can surprise her by singing it and playing it on my guitar. This is the best way that I can think of to really show her how much she means to me. Please help me find this music!
