Verse 1

All my life, I've waited and watched through the eyes of faith

 To see the consolation of Israel

And even though the flame of my life is now growing dim

 I know I'll see the Savior of Israel

 For the Spirit of the Lord has promised unto me

 That I would not see death before my eyes have seen Him

 The promise is alive, for through this little child

 God's holy light illuminates Jerusalem

>>Interlude like one Verse<<

Verse 2

 This child will cause the falling and rising of many souls

 A sign for all the people of Israel

 This child will be the way and the life unto every soul

 To every generation shall the Gentiles tell

 For the way has been prepared

 in the sight of every man

 The Son of God Himself is born in Bethlehem

 A sacrifice is made in the temple on this day

 Redemption reaches far beyond Jerusalem

Chorus 1

O Bethlehem, your star burns bright tonight

 For my eyes have seen the glory of salvation's holy light

 Has this little child come to redeem us all?

 To save us from the fall

 Redemption is in sight

 Behold, the Son shines bright

 Under Bethlehem's star tonight

O Bethlehem, your star burns bright tonight

Chorus 3 is played three times, but the G in the beginning is only used for the

first time. For the last two times of it you can add these Backing Vocals:

When all the world was sleeping deep in darkness

A child in Bethlehem fulfilled the promise

The ancients prophesied a great deliverer

The one to break the curse of sin forever

He didn't come with any worldly fanfare

No royal treatment, just a dark cross to bear

In Bethlehem a brand new dawn is rising

A star to guide the way, forever shining

New hope was born for all creation that night

For though the darkness came the brightest light
