Christmas Eve
Music for Choirs, Submitted Music (1998-2006)
Pine-crowned hills against the sky kneeling low to pray;
Friendly lamp-lit villages along the snowbound way;
Myriads of silver stars gleaming softly bright.
Little King of Bethlehem, I see Thy star tonight.
Fragrant wreaths and candle glow in a city street.
There are songs of Christmas carolers high and clear and sweet,
Echoes of the angel host with clothing shining white.
Little King of Israel, I hear Thy song tonight!
Words of ancient prophecy are mine to take or leave;
Visions of a golden age this happy Christmas Eve.
Peace on earth, good will to men, oh dim and holy light!
Little King of all the world, I share Thy dream tonight.
