Bound For Bethlehem Songtext
von Bruce Guthro

We climbed aboard a sailing ship
As she set sail on Christmas day
Climbed aboard a sailing ship
Oh bound for Bethlehem I ′am

Set the course into a storm
Into a storm on Christmas day
King of kings was to be born
Oh bound for Bethlehem I 'am

Bound for Bethlehem we go
Our holy king there to behold
Bound for Bethlehem we go
Oh bound for Bethlehem I o′

Captain roared ring the bell
Ring the bell on Christmas day
One and all upon farewell
Oh bound for Bethlehem I 'am


Captain bellowed round the horn
Round the horn on Christmas day
King of kings was to be born
Oh bound for Bethlehem I 'am

Bound for Bethlehem we go
Our holy king there to behold
Bound for Bethlehem we go
Oh bound for Bethlehem I o′

Bound for Bethlehem we go
Our holy king there to behold
Bound for Bethlehem we go
Oh bound for Bethlehem I o′

Sails are made of angels' wings
Angels′ wings on Christmas day
As we flew I heard 'em sing
Oh bound for Bethlehem I ′am

To the west we saw a star
Saw a star on Christmas day
A star on high to guide our hearts
Oh bound for Bethlehem I 'am


Bound for Bethlehem we go
Our holy king there to behold
Bound for Bethlehem we go
Oh bound for Bethlehem I o′

Bound for Bethlehem we go
Our holy king there to behold
Bound for Bethlehem we go
Oh bound for Bethlehem I o'

We climbed aboard a sailing ship
As she set sail on Christmas day
Climbed aboard a sailing ship
Oh bound for Bethlehem I 'am

Set the course into a storm
Into a storm on Christmas day
King of kings was to be born
Oh bound for Bethlehem I ′am

Bound for Bethlehem we go
Our holy king there to behold
Bound for Bethlehem we go
Oh bound for Bethlehem I o′

Bound for Bethlehem we go
Our holy king there to behold
Bound for Bethlehem we go
Oh bound for Bethlehem I o'
