The Way to Bethlehem

When I first received this lovely text by Jan Pinborough, I was deep into another project. But as I sat down to read the text, it seemed to come with a melody. I sang and played it as if it was just given--it sort of sang itself through me. It was humbling to recognize again the Lord's willingness to help me and work through me as I continually seek His will and to do His work.

LYRICS

Shepherds, shepherds, leave your lambs

And find the way to Bethlehem,

For the Baby sleeping there

Is your Savior good and fair.

Stars and angels shine His light.

Find the way to Bethlehem tonight.

Wise Men, look up to the sky

For one bright star to travel by.

Bring your gold and precious things.

Kneel before the King of kings.

Stars and angels shine His light.

Find the way to Bethlehem tonight.

See how Mary holds her Son,

Jesus Christ, the Holy One.

Joseph guards with tender care.

Peace and gladness fill the air.

Stars and angels shine His light.

Find the way to Bethlehem tonight.

Find your way this holy Christmas night.
