I believe in Bethlehem
Shining stars and making friends
Peace on earth goodwill to men
In all the world
I believe in silent nights
Gifts of love and guiding lights
I believe it all began in Bethlehem
In a city far away
Lowly shepherds knelt to pray
In a manager Jesus lay
Shh, sound asleep
Angels singing in the sky
Mother Mary at His side
Precious gifts from far and wide
At His feet
I believe in Bethlehem
Shining stars and making friends
Peace on earth goodwill to men
In all the world
I believe in Bethlehem
Shining stars and making friends
Peace on earth goodwill to men
In all the world
I believe in silent nights
Gifts of love and guiding lights
I believe it all began in Bethlehem
[x2]
Peace on earth goodwill to men
I believe it all began
In a town called Bethlehem
Bethlehem (I believe)
It all began (I believe)
In Bethlehem
