'twas the Night Before Christmas

'TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS


			'Twas the night before Christmas in Bethlehem town
			When the glory of God shone all around

			It was first seen in a bright shining star
			Viewed by wise men in the east from afar

			It was seen by shepherds keeping watch o'er their sheep
			While the people in town were all fast asleep

			God's glory was seen by angels on high
			As they sang praises to God from up in the sky

			It was seen by the animals in a stable so bare
			As the Baby called Jesus, that night, was born there

			The Baby's mother, Mary, saw God's glory too
			And her husband, Joseph, as he knelt down to view

			The glory of God, as seen in a child
			Born in a stable, so meek and so mild

			Now on Christmas Day, as we all celebrate
			The birth of our Savior, who grew to be great

			Let's all call to mind what a beautiful sight
			To see God's glory on that first Christmas night
