Twas the night before Christmas, and all through Bethlehem,
Joseph was searching for a room for them
He searched
and he searched all round the town
But nowhere
to stay for them could be found
So they
went to a stable and in a bed made of hay
The Christ
child was born on the first Christmas Day
We stand around the Christmas tree
And sing to
the Christmas melodies
We thank
the lord for what we are
Standing
beneath the Christmas star
To
celebrate the Christ child's birth
When he
came to us to save the earth
All bowed before the newborn
In that
stable forlorn
Shepherds
and their beasts
And the
magi from the east
The noble
men of wealth
Concerned about his heath
Gave gifts of myrrh, frankincense and gold
Gifts his tiny hands could not hold
And at the
centre of this scene
Slept the
young King serene
They stood in breathless wonder
At the babe
so meek and mild
And with
their gifts they knelt
At the feet
of the holy child
Two thousand years have passed
Since you
died on that cross of pain
Dying for
our salvation
Which began
your holy reign
Two
thousand years have passed
And when
Christmas comes again
We will
celebrate the day of you birth
Which began
your holy reign
The winter stage is dressed in tones of white
Everywhere
is quiet everywhere is bright
Houses are
adorned with lights of every hue
To
celebrate the Christmas hullaballoo
And the
starry sky on a frost filled night
Is in truth
the most wonderful sight
A sky that
held the star they had to follow
Over two
thousand Christmas skies ago
