Lauryn Hill has shared a cover of "A Christmas in Bethlehem". The song was originally written in the 1920s, but popularized in 1960 by Nat King Cole, who sang it for his 1960 album The Magic of Christmas. Listen to Hill's rendition above.

Earlier this year, Lauryn Hill covered several Nina Simone songs for the tribute album Nina Revisited. She's also just announced two intimate performances for 2016: one at Howard Theatre in Washington, DC on Jan 1, and another at The Brooklyn Bowl in Brooklyn, NY on Jan 4

Listen to Nat King Cole's take on the song:
