All my life, I've waited and watched
through the eyes of faith
Dm                        F C Dm
To see the consolation of Israel

And even though the flame of my life
is now growing dim

I know I'll see the Savior of Israel
F                              C
For the Spirit of the Lord has promised unto me
F
That I would not see death
          C              Dm
before my eyes have seen Him
F                         C
The promise is alive, for through this little child

This child will cause the falling
and rising of many souls

Dm                            F  C     Dm
To every generation shall the Gentiles tell

For the way has been prepared

in the sight of every man
F                                     C Dm
The Son of God Himself is born in Bethlehem

A sacrifice is made in the temple on this day
F                                 C Dm
Redemption reaches far beyond Jerusalem


Dm F              C                   Dm
O Bethlehem , your star burns bright tonight
       Bb                  Am        Bb              C
For my eyes have seen the glory of salvation's holy light

(This stuff is sung over the chorus at the end, with the chords from the last chorus)
When all the world was sleeping deep in darkness
A child in Bethlehem fulfilled the promise
The ancients prophesied a great deliverer
The one to break the curse of sin forever
He didn't come with any worldly fanfare
No royal treatment, just a dark cross to bear
In Bethlehem a brand new dawn is rising
A star to guide the way, forever shining
New hope was born for all creation that night
For though the darkness came the brightest light
