Betelehemu!


This is one of the pieces we are doing for our Christmas Show in a few weeks.  Obviously we are not the Mormon Tabernacle choir, but we enjoy the song and sing it with passion. 
I liked the song when we first started learning it... I enjoyed the music and rhythm but once I found out what the lyrics meant I LOVED it (and love it still).
Here is the translation:
We are glad that we have a Father to trust.
We are glad that we have a Father to rely upon
Where was Jesus born?
Where was He born?
Bethlehem, the city of wonder.
That is where the Father was born for sure.
Praise, praise, praise be to Him.
We thank thee, we thank Thee, we thank Thee for this day,
Gracious Father.
Praise, praise, praise be to Thee,
Merciful Father.
