The Savior's Holy family
Gazed on Him with Love;
This precious child of Heaven
Sent down from up above!
Many strained to see Him
And steal a tiny look-
At the precious seed of God
Foretold in Sacred Books.
The Glorious gift of Jesus
Had been looked forward to,
Since our early dawning
So man could be "renewed."
His hands and feet held promise
Right down to you and me;
Of a precious Savior
Who'd die on Calvary's tree.
A crowd of strangers gathered
That night in Bethlehem...
To celebrate the birthday
Of our Lord, Teacher, and Friend!
