 Christmas In Heaven
I've had
my first Christmas in heaven;
A glorious, wonderful
day!
I stood with saints of the ages,
Who found
Christ the Truth and the Way.
I sang
with the heavenly choir;
Just think! I, who longed so
to sing!
And oh, what celestial music
We brought
to our Saviour and King!
We sang
the glad songs of redemption,
How Jesus to Bethlehem
came
And how they had called His name Jesus,
That
all might be saved through His name.
We sang
once again with the angels,
The song that they sang
the blest morn,
When shepherds first heard the glad
story
That Jesus, the Saviour, was born.
O,
Darling, I wish you had been here;
No Christmas on
earth could compare
With all the rapture and
glory
We witnessed in Heaven so fair.
You know
how I always loved Christmas;
It seemed such a
wonderful day
With all of my loved ones around
me;
The children so happy and gay.
Yes, now
I can see why I loved it;
And oh, what a joy it will
be
When you and my loved ones are with me
To share
in the glories I see.
So, Dear
Ones on earth, here's my greeting;
Look up til the
day dawn appears
And oh, what a Christmas awaits
us,
Beyond all our partings and tears!
