Text:

Upon the road to Bethlehem one dark and chilly night,

I caught a fleetings glimpse of them, a worn and weary sight.

Upon the road to Bethlehem I hardly looked their way;

For who could know the child she would bear would rule the world one day.

Upon the road, I can't recall a single soul who soke to them, or noticed them at all,

For on the road to Bethlehem, they were a common sight;

But would they find a place to shield them from the night?

Upon that road to Bethlehem we find ourselves today;

and could it be the Prince of Peace we pass along they way?

And will we offer as before a lovely manger bed;

Or could we cradle this tiney child within our hears instead?
