On cold, a wintry night, <br />A baby boy on hay, <br />Swaddled in clothes, He lay- <br />What heavenly, a sight! <br /> <br />The only Son of God <br />Was born on earth- how odd! <br />There was no room for Him; <br />The stable-light was dim! <br /> <br />Some shepherds came to see; <br />And Angel choirs sang on; <br />Three wise men from East came: <br />‘A Savior King was born! ’ <br /> <br />‘Let’s go and adore Him; <br />He’s come from Paradise, <br />To make man’s life less grim, <br />And save him from all vice.’ <br /> <br />Oh, what a holy night! <br />A star above stood bright; <br />The baby brought earth peace <br />Joy, love that ne’er can cease!<br /><br />Dr John Celes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/christmas-2007-song-9/
