'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
