Highlands Worship's 'Born in Bethlehem' is a Christmas worship song that weaves together the classic carols 'O Little Town of Bethlehem' and 'Away in a Manger' with a modern chorus of adoration. The song reflects on the humble birth of Jesus, the Savior, in Bethlehem, and invites listeners to behold and worship Him as holy and worthy. It emphasizes the incarnation, the light that shines in the darkness, and the prayer for Christ to be born in our hearts today, casting out sin and bringing hope.

O little town of Bethlehem
How still we see thee lie
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by
For Christ is born of Mary
And gathered all above
While mortals sleep the angels keep
Their watch of wondering love
Away in a manger no crib for a bed
The little Lord Jesus lay down His sweet head
The stars in the sky looked down where He lay
The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay
Away in a manger no crib for a bed
The little Lord Jesus lay down His sweet head
The stars in the sky looked down where He lay
The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay
Come behold Him
He is Holy
Christ our Savior
Born in Bethlehem
Born in Bethlehem
O Holy Child of Bethlehem
Descend to us we pray
Cast out our sin and enter in
Be born to us today
Away in a manger no crib for a bed
The little Lord Jesus lay down His sweet head
The stars in the sky looked down where He lay
The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay
Come behold Him
He is Holy
Christ our Savior
Born in Bethlehem
Yet in thy dark streets shineth
The everlasting light
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee tonight
Come behold Him
He is Holy
Christ our Savior
Born in Bethlehem
Come adore Him
He is Worthy
Christ our Savior
Born in Bethlehem
Born in Bethlehem
O Holy Child of Bethlehem
Descend to us we pray
Cast out our sin and enter in
Be born to us today
