If I Could Visit Bethlehem
Author: Brian Wren Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 2 hymnals Topics: Bethlehem; Bethlehem Lyrics: 1 If I could visit Bethlehem
what presents would I bring?
If I could see what happened then,
what would I say or sing?
I wouldn't take a modern toy
but gold to pay for bread,
some wine to give his parents joy
and wool to warm his bed.
2 I'd learn some simple words to speak
in Aramaic tongues.
I'd cradle him, and kiss his cheek,
and say, "I'm glad you've come."
If Mary asked me who I was
and what her child would do,
I wouldn't talk about the cross
or tell he all I knew.
3 I'd say, "He'll never hurt or kill,
and joy will follow tears.
We'll know his name and love him still
in twenty hundred years."
I cannot visit Bethlehem
but what I can, I'll do:
I'll love you, Jesus, as my friend,
and give my life to you. Scripture: Psalm 30:3 Used With Tune: CAROL STREAM

When marshalled on the nightly plain
Brightest and best of the sons of the morning
Author: Bp. R. Heber, 1783-1826 Appears in 911 hymnals Topics: Bethlehem Star of; Bethlehem Visit of Magi to; Star Of Bethlehem Lyrics: 1 Brightest and best of the sons of the morning,
Dawn on our darkness, and lend us thine aid;
Star of the East, the horizon adorning,
Guide where our infant Redeemer is laid.
2 Cold on HIs cradle the dew-drops are shining;
Low lies His bed with the beasts of the stall;
Angels adore Him, in slumber reclining,
Maker, and Monarch, and Saviour of all.
3 Say, shall we yield Him, in costly devotion,
Odours of Edom, and offerings divine?
Gems of the mountain, and pearls of the ocean,
Myrrh from the forest, and gold from the mine?
4 Vainly we offer each ample oblation;
Vainly with gifts would His favour secure;
Richer by far is the heart's adoration;
Dearer to God are the prayers of the poor. Used With Tune: EPIPHANY

I Danced in the Morning
Author: Sydney Carter Meter: Irregular Appears in 52 hymnals Topics: Biblical Places Bethlehem Refrain First Line: Dance, then, wherever you may be Lyrics: 1 I danced in the morning
when the world was begun,
and I danced in the moon

and I came down from heaven
and I danced on the earth;
at Bethlehem I had my birth.

but they would not dance
and they would not follow me;

and the dance went on. [Refrain]

the holy people
said it was a shame;

and they hung me high,
and they left me there
on a cross to die. [Refrain]
4 I danced on a Friday
when the sky turned black;
it’s hard to dance
with the devil on your back;
they buried my body
and they thought I’d gone,
but I am the dance
and I still go on. [Refrain]
5 They cut me down
and I leap up high;
I am the life
that will never, never die;
I’ll live in you
if you’ll live in me;
I am the Lord
of the dance, said he. [Refrain] Used With Tune: LORD OF THE DANCE

To human view displayed,
All meanly wrapped in swathing bands,
And in a manger laid."
