<p>I am so glad each Christmas Eve,<br>
|
|
The night of Jesus’ birth!<br>
|
|
Then like the sun the Star shone forth,<br>
|
|
And angels sang on earth.</p>
|
|
<p>The little Child in Bethlehem,<br>
|
|
He was a King indeed!<br>
|
|
For He came down from heaven above<br>
|
|
To help a world in need.</p>
|
|
<p>He dwells again in heaven’s realm,<br>
|
|
The Son of God today;<br>
|
|
And still He loves His little ones<br>
|
|
And hears them when they pray.</p>
|
|
<p>I am so glad on Christmas Eve!<br>
|
|
His praises then I sing;<br>
|
|
He opens then for every child<br>
|
|
The palace of the King.</p>

|
<p>When mother trims the Christmas tree<br>
|
|
Which fills the room with light,<br>
|
|
She tells me of the wondrous Star<br>
|
|
That made the dark world bright.</p>
|
|
<p>She says the Star is shining still,<br>
|
|
And never will grow dim;<br>
|
|
And if it shines upon my way,<br>
|
|
It leads me up to Him.</p>
|
|
<p>And so I love each Christmas Eve<br>
|
|
And I love Jesus, too;<br>
|
|
And that He loves me every day<br>
|
|
I know so well is true.</p>
