FIRST CHRISTMAS LIGHTS

THE FIRST CHRISTMAS LIGHTS

The stars shone brightly in the sky
And lit the manger where He lay;
In swaddling clothes wrapped up tight,
As an angel came to show the way.

We sometimes forget the old story,
Yet are reminded every year
About this time when the Heavens
Are lit up by stars so near.

Perhaps the reason that our family
Decorates the Christmas tree -
With gaily colored lights so bright
Is that somewhere in our memory

We remember the first Christmas lights
And know the blessings of the season -
We place the angel on our tree
And celebrate - the reason!
