Twas the Night Before Christmas

            Author Unknown

            'Twas the first night of Christmas a long time ago

            The hillside was peaceful, the moon was aglow.

            The world couldn't know from what happened before

            That men would remember this night evermore.

            The sheep on the hillside--their days journey over

            Were dreaming sweet dreams of a field full of clover.

            The shepherds were watchful while guarding their flock

            The earth was their pillow, the stars were their clock.

            Then all of a sudden, they jumped at the sight

            Of the sky all ablaze with a heavenly light.

            They huddled in fear, then they started to rise

            As the lightening-like flash tore open the skies.

            The heavens were split by the silvery ray.

            The dark disappeared and the night became day.

            And lo, at the end of the rainbow of light

            Appeared then an angel to banish their fright.

            The angel brought news of a birth in a manger

            And bade them to hasten to welcome the stranger.

            For Mary had just given birth to a boy

            Whose coming would bring so much comfort and joy.

            A choir of angels looked down from the sky

            And heavenly voices were heard from on high:

            Peace be on earth and good will to all men.

            The Savior has come on this night, Amen.
