The tree is lit,
The gifts are wrapped,
And snow lies on the roof
All in stillness
Awaits the time
Of God’s great gift of love
Rejoice my heart
And give Him praise,
For Christ the Lord is born
He left His throne,
He came to earth,
And died upon the cross
He came to set
His people free
From sin and doubt and shame
Forever more
My heart will sing
The praises of my King.
