    We sang this in my high school choir. Then I went to Superman and heard it live from the Morehouse Glee Club. I still know all the words--which means I know a bit of Yoruba to this day.

    Dear God💗❤️💗💖❤️❤️❤️💞🙏in heaven, I come to you in the name of Jesus. I acknowledge to You that I am a sinner, and I am sorry for my sins and the life that I have lived; I need your forgiveness.
    I believe that your only begotten Son Jesus Christ shed His precious blood on the cross at Calvary and died for my sins, and I am now willing to turn from my sin.
    You said in the bible that if we confess the Lord our God and believe in our hearts that God raised Jesus from the dead, we shall be saved.
    Right now I confess Jesus as my Lord. With my heart, I believe that God raised Jesus from the dead. This very moment I accept Jesus Christ as my own personal Savior and according to His Word, right now I am saved. Amen.

      Indeed it is beautiful. This is my favorite song that they sing. You can catch them in March as they tour the country in Spring break. They will sing this song. #EtFactaEstLux
      Betelehemu

      Bethlehem
      We shall see that we have a Master to trust
      We shall see that we have a Master to rely on
      Where was Jesus born?
      Where was he born?
      Bethlehem, the city of wonder
      That is where the Master was born for sure
      Praise, praise, praise be to Him
      We thank You, we thank You, we thank You for this day

    This is great.I also like Oral Roberts doing it which is on TH-cam. The female voice adds something I think and the Contralto soloist is from another planet.

After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers and sisters at the same time,

    I was a member of the BYU Men's Chorus, singing under Mack Wilberg, the current conductor of the Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square. The year after I graduated--1989-1990--he introduced this song into the choir's repetoire. I believe they were among the first choirs to sing this song. But I could be wrong.
