Bethlehem
Marty McCall

There are stars a million and bright
And a night so lighted and full
The village is wrapped in its sleep
And before the dawn He is born

Manifestation of love abiding
A flawless fraction of God redeeming
Before the dawn He is born
He is born

The angels are visiting earth
As the moonbeams play on the roofs
The animals listening close
And before the dawn He is born
 

Manifestation of love abiding
A flawless fraction of time never ending
The incarnation of God redeeming
Before the dawn He is born He is born

Before the dawn He is born
The Light alone he is born
The Star of morn He is born
The Song of Songs He is born

The weary travelers are at rest
The shepherds awake the night long
His love will grow and be strong
And before the dawn He is born
