1. One lovely starlit night
there slept a little child,
dreaming peaceful dreams,
with heart so meek and mild.
Cradled in His mother's arms,
safe from worldly care,
comforted and so secure
just knowing she was there.
In a lowly manger He was
warmed by sheep and lambs.
The ANIMALS drew closer
to be near His little hands.
As they watched Him lovingly
they snuggled closer still.
Being in His presence
gave their tender hearts a thrill.
How their poor hearts melted
at the thought that Jesus chose
them to be the first to share
His presence and repose.
2. When the shepherds joined them,
such humility and love
filled the lowly stable
strewn with graces from above.
Tender hearted JOSEPH,
who was chosen from all men
to be the Savior's guardian
by His Father up in heaven,
was the humblest man on earth
and worthy to protect
the Son of God and offer Him
the most profound respect.
3. MARY purest maiden, who
would serve her infant son,
cared for Him devoutly as
His heart she deeply won.
That was the first Christmas
while a star shown bright above
the manger that was blest
and filled with mystery and love.
4. In my solitude, I travel there
within my heart,
reflecting on the graces
He will lovingly impart.
As I gaze into His eyes
away from worldly care,
I nestle in His presence
and bow down in humble PRAYER:
"Jesus, meek and humble,
please stay with me 'till the end.
Be my dear companion
and my everlasting friend.
I will be your servant
and will offer to mankind
all the love and peace you bring
within my soul and mind."
5. Keeping the first Christmas
deep within my heart I know
Jesus will stay close to me
wherever I may go.
In His gentle presence
I will never be afraid.
For my sins and frailties
He generously paid.
So my friend remember
on that lovely starlit night,
there slept and infant Savior,
who brought with Him endless LIGHT!
