16805. To Bethlehem Let Us Go

1 See, a star is in the air,
And its light is trail­ing low,
To Beth­le­hem let us hast­en,
To Beth­le­hem let us go.

Refrain:
With gold and nard and myrrh,
To Beth­le­hem let us go,
To Beth­le­hem let us hast­en,
To Jesus let us go.

2 For gold, our hearts we’ll bring,
For myrrh, re­pent­ance rise,
For nard, our cens­ers swing
’Neath the wings of sing­ing skies. [Refrain]

3 For the Babe who fills the skies
With harps of quiv­er­ing gold,
Let our an­thems now arise
Like the pro­phets’ psalms of old. [Refrain]
