To Bethlehem, we travel on,
with one bright star to follow,
to worship the one who will become
the world's today and tomorrow.
Beauty has come to us all.
Born to the world, of a virgin.
The heavens announce his birth.
The light of the world, he will shine on us.
So to Bethlehem, we travel on,
with one bright star to follow,
to bow before sovereign royalty,
the king of earth and of heaven.
A ruler has come to us all.
A monarch with mercy and wisdom.
All power and praise unto him.
The kingdom of glory will reign over us.
So to Bethlehem, we travel on,
with one bright star to follow,
offering gold, frankincense and myrrh
to the one who will ransom our hearts.
We give this gold to your kingly throne
that we lay our lives before.
Incense to burn, our fragrance to stir
in the courts of our high priest and lord.
Anointing oil for a savior interred,
he will overcome death and the grave.
A babe, to a man, to a king, to a sacrifice,
the word of God walking in flesh.
