A CHRISTMAS LARGO

 

Can you hear the sleigh bells ring

On this Christmas Eve

Joy they will bring

Under the tree

Children drift throughout the long night fitfully

Knowing what tomorrow will bring,

 

Where then did it all begin

A long, long time ago

Stranded in that little inn

Joseph and Mary

Had nowhere else to be

For her time had come

Heralded by a Heavenly glow

So as the whole world might know.

 

Shepherds in a lonely field

Watched in awe

Dazzled by all they saw

An Angelic Host up above

Calling out to them

Beckoning to rise

To rise

And follow to Bethlehem.

 

From lands far to the East

Guided by the Heavenly light

Three Magis came

On that Holy night.

And so, the Son of Man

Came to us that night

Among the gathering

Angels proclaimed the birth

A gift from Heaven to Earth

 

 And on that first Christmas Day

There the baby Jesus lay

Not knowing what would be

Or aware of his destiny

 

And throughout all the ages

The Story has passed along

Through a blessed life

And His great sacrifice

Mankind could live free

Live Free

For all eternity.

 

And so, it is we have come

To rejoice this way

This way

On Christmas Day.
