we celebrate him on a December day
two thousand years ago he came to earth
in a straw filled manger he lay

Joseph and Mary were elated at his birth
the son of God part of a divine trinity
two thousand years ago he came to earth

we recall the scene of the blessed nativity
singing carols in churches and in public halls
the son of God part of a divine trinity

school children are now painting pictures on walls
bringing the story of his birth to life in colors bold
singing carols in churches and in public halls

Christmas day is but a few days away for us to behold
tis a day of reflective thought and prayer
bringing the story of his birth to life in colors bold

over Bethlehem shone a bright star its brilliance rare
tis a day of reflective thought and prayer
we celebrate him on a December day
in a straw filled manger he lay
