O to be in Bethlehem <br />That clear and crystal night, <br />When Kings and shepherds travelled far <br />To glory at his sight, <br />And following the star that shone <br />High in the sky above, <br />And guided on their journey by <br />Such sweet eternal love. <br /> <br />O to be in Bethlehem <br />When peace befell the earth, <br />And love did spread to nations far <br />At Christ my Saviour's birth, <br />And see the Son of God that lay <br />Within a manger bare, <br />And knowing that I'll always be <br />Within his tender care. <br /> <br />O to be in Bethlehem <br />To see the new born King, <br />There ride upon his majesty <br />And hear the angels sing, <br />To be there at that moment when <br />The holy child did lie, <br />Within that humble dwelling place <br />Beneath the starlit sky.<br /><br />ANDREW BLAKEMORE<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/o-to-be-in-bethlehem/
