THE TRAVELLER'S GUIDE

Bethlehem is the town where a story did take place
Of a Man, known as Christ, Who deserves our endless praise.
He was born, Heaven's Child, of a virgin young and fair.
Shepherds came; wise men came; just to see the Infant there.

CHORUS:
  Jesus lives, He is the Traveller's Guide!
  'Tis the melody I sing.
  He's the Saviour of my soul;
  In my heart He is King!
  Nevertheless He's Lord of the universe;
  He's always with me where'er I go.
  Worship I will His name for I love Him;
  And lo, how He loves me so!

As He walked, on this earth, with His wisdom unsurpassed
He had shown us to love Him and other lads and lasses.
But with hatred and pride people call-ed Him a fraud,
And they tried, crucified, put to death the Son of God.

So in the grave He did lay,
For three days--three very long days.
But then death could no longer have its claim,
For He rose when the morning came!

He appeared to five hundred for forty glorious days,
Then ascended to Heaven where He resides today.
This He did just to save such a sinful worm as I;
And my sins are all gone--He's already paid the price!

CHORUS (DESCANT:
   Jesus lives, He's our Guide, the Traveller's Guide!
   'Tis the song I love to sing, 'tis the song I love to sing.
   He's the Saviour of my soul, He's the Saviour of my soul;
   In my heart He is King, in my heart He is King.
   He is Lord of the universe;
   He is with me where I go, where I go.
   I will worship Him, for I love Him
   And lo, how He loves me, He loveth me so.)
