    It Could be Bethlehem

    Poem by Max Dunaway, alt.
    Music by Adrienne Tindall

    It could be Bethlehem, upon a hill,
    With quiet shepherds watching over sheep,
    For in this city now we listen still,
    And in our ways a Christmas vigil keep.

    And there could be tonight, as there was then,
    A multitude of angels singing praise
    To God, and promising sweet peace to men,
    If we would seek the Christ in all our ways.

    It could have been that star that shines above
    Which shone upon the manger babe that night!
    And it could lead as surely to his love,
    If we let rays of Truth make out lives bright.

    And there could be in us a holy birth
    Of Christliness here in this present place
    To bring again upon this troubled earth
    The glad nativity of truth and grace.
