YouTube video: On My Road to Bethlehem, hymn

Text:
On my road to Bethlehem, I don’t hear new angels sing.
I am not a shepherd tending flocks in early Spring.
I don’t see a brilliant star in the darkened sky,
But I long to see a King . . . a King I won’t deny.

On my road to Bethlehem, I will sing a heav’n-sent song.
I will make great haste in spreading news so all belong.
I will search for constant light on a darkened earth.
I will witness sacred life from Jesus’ holy birth.

On my road to Bethlehem, as I walk in paths He shows,
I’ll declare my witness of his truths to which I’m prone.
I will find the light of Christ shining far above,
Finally I’ll reach his side . . . a manger filled with love.

Chorus after the first two verses:
On my road to Bethlehem, searching for the King,
I will follow sacred Light and the life He brings.

Chorus after the final verse:
On my road to Bethlehem, as I find the King,
I will feel his sacred love . . . love He freely brings.
