Upon This Christmas Day

He sleeps there in a stable The babe born to the world Both mother, father watch with care Though swaddled in a cloth He is born, yet, to be king With but just rags for Him to wear This special morning The sun now shines bright From stars there in the Heavens To the rise of morning light The world now is much brighter As angels, too, now play There’s hope and happiness to share Upon this Christmas Day For within the early morning Angels brought the sky a voice Calling forth those who wish to hear Along then, came all others Knowing truth within their hearts That all now have nothing to fear This special morning The sun now shines bright From stars there in the Heavens To the rise of morning light The world now is much brighter As angels, too, now play There’s hope and happiness to share Upon this Christmas Day Go forth and tell all others Who had no chance to hear The news of hope and of the joy Let them know the Gift of God That comes to save us all His son sent as this little boy This special morning The sun now shines bright From stars there in the Heavens To the rise of morning light The world now is much brighter As angels, too, now play There’s hope and happiness to share Upon this Christmas Day
