BETHLEHEM (Poem)

​

It isn’t far to Bethlehem
Where lies the new-born King;
It isn’t far to Bethlehem
Where holy Angels sing.

 

The Wise Men saw the guiding star
That led them where He lay;
The Shepherds heard the heavenly song
That brought the better day.

 

We, too, may go to Bethlehem
And find the Savior Child;
We, too, may hear the Angels sing
Their hymns of mercy mild.

 

Our hearts are God’s new Bethlehem
Where Christ is born anew—
It isn’t far to Bethlehem
If He is born in you!
