If I Could Visit Bethlehem
Author: Brian Wren Hymnal: Worship and Song #3063 (2011) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Hymnal Title: Worship and Song 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.
