I Am So Glad Each Christmas Eve

I am so glad each Christmas Eve,
The night of Jesus' birth!
Then like the sun the star shone forth,
And angels sang on earth.

The little child in Bethlehem,
He was a king indeed!
For he came down from heavn above
To help a world in need.

He dwells again in heaven's realm,
The Son of God today;
And still he loves his little ones
And hears then when they pray.

I am so glad each Christmas Eve!
His praises then I sing;
He opens now for ev'ry child
The palace of the king.

When mother trims the Christmas tree
Which fills the room with light,
She tells me of the wondrous star
That made the dark world bright.

And so I love each Christmas Eve,
And I love Jesus too;
And that he loves me ev'ry day
I know so well is true.
