Couplet 1

In Nazareth of Galilee
An angel speaks the sacred words
Mary you will
Be with child
The miracle of virgin birth

Couplet 2

Joseph heeds the angel sign
And takes her as
His promised wife
Now through the night
They journey on
How far is it to Bethlehem

Pré refrain

Wise men plan their course ahead
Searching for the promised King
Now from the east
A guiding star
How far is it to Bethlehem

Refrain

How far how far
To the place
Where hope was born

Couplet 3

The walls outside Jerusalem
O see the mount of Calvary
There lifted high
Upon a cross
The Savior of humanity

Pré refrain

He conquered sin
And buried shame
Rose to life and burst the grave
Forever bridged
The great divide
With perfect grace and sacrifice

Refrain

How far how far
Love has come
To bring us home

Couplet 4

How far they went to Bethlehem
How far you went for Calvary
No greater grace
Was ever known
No greater love was ever seen

Pré refrain

We set our hearts on pilgrimage
We’re caught up
In Your story too
From Bethlehem to Calvary
Our hearts will always follow You

Refrain

How far how far
Savior lead us to Your heart

Refrain

How far how far
Jesus lead us to Your heart

O Jesus lead us
