Christmas Is Here Once More
“Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable Gift.” – 2 Corinthians 9:15
Another Christmas day has come
Greeted alike in city and slum
The King of kings is born on Earth
To offer the world the gift of mirth
Sing ye all men, a song of joy
For this is the holiest of holy nights
A night of magic when Christ is born
When Christmas stars brighten every house and street
Jesus is born to bless the earth
And all of mankind, the high and the low
Christmas brings smiles of sweet content
On every face and in every heart
Years ago on this day, Jesus, the Son of God was born
On a night so cold to bring us light
Word was made flesh on that night
And the world was blessed with the greatest gift
On that lovely night of great rejoicing
The moon looked effulgent in heaven’s arc
Among all the stars and starlets of the sky
A lone star shone brighter than all the rest
Seen in the East, it slowly moved forward
The three wise men following its trail,
Reached the manger and beheld the holy child,
Swaddled in rags and lying on a rough quilt of straw
The wise men had carried costly gifts with them
Frankincense, myrrh, and precious gold
Though he was born as the poorest of the poor
He is more revered than all kings of the earth
Once more the great star, its splendor spills
And every heart with peace and joy fills
Once more has dawned the day of Jesus' birth
Making merry each man on this gloomy earth
