Discover the extraordinary hidden in the ordinary
- Hover-over, or tap the scratch-off elements of the images and discover the hidden moments of Christmas
- Read (or sing!) the lines from the famous Christmas carol O little town of Bethlehem
- Reflect on the question as you pause for a moment
🎶So God imparts to human hearts the blessings of his heaven🎶
Look at yourself. Where do you see the divine reflected back at you?
🎶Yet in thy dark street shineth the everlasting light🎶
Look at the people around you. Where do you notice the divine shining back at you?
🎶Above thy deep and dreamless sleep the silent stars go by🎶
Look at the world around you. Where do you see glimmers of the divine?
Listen to our first ever Christmas Single
Be Born is a new arrangement of O little town of Bethlehem and features as the soundtrack to our Christmas film. Stream it from your favourite music platform, or watch the lyric video.
