The Children of Bethlehem
Journey of Light: The Bethlehem Revelation
Lyrics
The children of Bethlehem
The inhabitants or residents of Bethlehem.
One cold winter's night
On a chilly winter night.
Were wakened by singing
Awakened by singing.
And a heavenly light
And a celestial light.
With whispers and murmurs
Soft sounds and hushed conversations.
On pattering feet
Sounds of footsteps like light raindrops.
The children of Bethlehem
The residents or children of Bethlehem.
Came into the street
Stepped out into the street.
The people were sleeping
Local people were in deep sleep.
All safely in bed
Safely tucked in their beds.
The children heard singing
Children heard singing from the sky.
In the sky overhead
In the sky above them.
They heard, "Peace will be with you
A message of peace for everyone.
Whoever you are
Regardless of who you are.
Oh, come to the stable
Invitation to come to the stable.
Come, follow the Star!"
To follow the guiding star.
And the children of Bethlehem
Reiteration of the children of Bethlehem.
That cold winter's night
On that cold winter's night.
Came down to the stable
Arrived at the stable following the light.
They followed the light
Guided by the celestial light.
Now the roosters were crowing
The roosters announced the dawn.
At the dawning of day
The beginning of a new day.
The baby lay sleeping
The baby peacefully asleep in the manger.
In the manger he lay
Resting in the feeding trough.
The children of Bethlehem
Children of Bethlehem arriving in pairs.
Came in two by two
Entered the scene two by two.
They came to the manger
Approached the manger.
That the Star brought them to
Directed by the guiding Star.
They came to the manger
Repetition of coming to the manger.
Where the sweet Baby lay
Where the infant lay.
The children of Bethlehem
Children of Bethlehem as examples.
Showed us the way
They demonstrated the way.
