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.
2. 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 souls a thrill. How their poor hearts melted at the thought that Jesus chose, them to be the first to share His presence and repose. When the shepherds joined them such humility and love, filled that lowly stable strewn with graces from above.
3. 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. 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 the love and PEACE that you instill within my soul and mind.”
5. Keeping the first Christmas deep inside my heart I know that Jesus will stay close to me wherever I may go. In His gentle presence I will never be afraid, for all my sins and frailties He generously paid. So my friend recall that on one lovely starlit night, there slept an Infant Savior who brought with Him endless LIGHT!
