02 A Bethlehem Dawn - Joseph’s Dream - BY S.L.G V.03

Verse 1 (English) In the quiet of night, Joseph lay, Confused and troubled by the light of day. He knew of Mary’s child, not his own, But God had plans that were yet unknown. Chorus (English and Greek) Ἰησοῦς ἄρξεται, ("Jesus will begin") A dream He saw, an angel’s voice, “Do not fear, take Mary, rejoice.” The child within her is of the Lord, He’ll save the people with His sword. Verse 2 (English and Hebrew) The angel spoke, “Do not be afraid,” For this child’s life, God has made. כִּי-יָלַד-בְּךָ-בֵּן, "For a son shall be born to you" And His name shall be, Jesus, יֵשׁוּעַ, The One who saves, who brings peace too. Bridge (Aramaic and Greek) פִּסְכֵּיהוֹן, ("Fear not") He will redeem, His people lost, By His love, we’ll bear the cost. Joseph awoke, he knew the way, To marry Mary without delay. Verse 3 (English) With courage now, he took her hand, To follow God’s divine command. A journey to Bethlehem they must go, To fulfill the prophecy, the Savior’s glow.
