Twas the eve Jesus Christ, the Savior, was born

With the animals in the stable eating their hay & their corn.

And all the inn's occupants were snug in their warm beds

While Mary and Joseph in the stable had a long night ahead.

With her labor pains becoming stronger and stronger,

the time between birth pangs grew shorter, not longer.

The birth of the promised Savior, the Messiah, would soon be here.

And shortly the crown of His head did miraculously appear.

Born to a set of stable parents, a married mother and father, so humble.

To save mankind from the darkness of sin in which they did stumble.

Far into the night the angels could be heard singing in the heavens above

Of the Savior who would show God's saving grace, mercy & love.

While the shepherds in the fields keeping their sheep safe at night

Saw a brilliant star in the sky above Bethlehem glowing with light.
