Martin Guerre movie - Bethlehem lyrics

<br>

Protestants<br>

Bethlehem, Bethlehem<br>

Look, a star shines over Bethlehem<br>

East and west, all are blessed<br>

(Bertrande joins the Protestants, Arnaud remains at a distance)<br>

Love has found us as we pray before you<br>

See the love around us, love of Bethlehem<br>

<br>

There a stable was the altar table<br>

For the feast, a manger<br>

For priest, a stranger<br>

Braying cattle for the choir<br>

Singing praised to the new Messiah<br>

(Bertrande goes to Arnaud and he joins in the singing)<br>

Bethlehem, Bethlehem<br>

Look, a star shines over Bethlehem<br>

Fierce and bright burns the light<br>

(Guillaue enters and lurks in the background, watching what is going on)<br>

By that banner, we shall march till morning<br>

As we sing Hosanna into Bethlehem<br>

(the Protestants leave, Guillaume runs looking for Pierre)<br>

Guillaume<br>

Pierre! Pierre Guerre!<br>

Pierre<br>

What do you want?<br>

Guillaume<br>

Please Pierre, I have some news about Martin<br>

Pierre<br>

Christ, Guillaume, I've no time for this now, don't you know<br>

I've got everyone here<br>

Guillaume<br>

But Pierre, Martin's not the man he seems<br>

As I walked here tonight through the woods I heard voices in prayer<br>

Pierre<br>

What?<br>

Guillaume<br>

On my life, they were Protestants, Pierre<br>

There was André and Catherine and then Martin Guerre<br>

Pierre<br>

I don't need to hear these lies<br>

Guillaume<br>

You can ask Martin himself!<br>

Pierre<br>

If you're lying..<br>

Guillaume<br>

Like the Protestant, Martin?<br>
