The Town of Bethel

When you enter the Town of Bethel,
You'll notice the unpolluted air;
And the beautiful environment,
Is way beyond compare.

You can go hunting in the woods,
Or fishing in the stream;
And the fishing, on White Lake,
Will satisfy your dream.

No tornadoes, hurricanes, or floods,
Is what we like about this place;
And when you walk down the streets,
You'll see a friendly face.

May God bless the Town of Bethel,
And the country atmosphere;
Where the four seasons you'll enjoy,
When you come and visit here.
