Remember, December

Cold, cold nights before the fire Dressed in winter’s bright attire I watch the Yule log burning strong Burning still the whole night long I think of joy, I think of love I think of Him who watches from above I think of joy, I think of praise I think of Him who rights our crooked ways Oh, do you remember Dear heart of December What blessed day you hold? What gifts you bear Like wise men there Was frankincense and gold Gazing out at yonder star I hear the carols from afar Warmed within and warmed without Filled with hope that clears all doubt I feel the joy, I feel the love I feel the blessings He sends us from above I feel the joy, I feel the cheer I feel His love throughout the year Oh, do you remember Dear heart of December That single ray of light? A promise true It still shines through The blackest winter’s night So always remember That even in December Good tidings you behold And the gifts you bear Will more than compare With frankincense and gold.
