First
Christmas in Heaven
I’ve
had my first Christmas in Heaven,
A
glorious, wonderful day!
I
stood with saints of the ages
Who
found Christ, the Truth, and the Way.
I
sang with the heavenly choir -
Just
think! I, who so longed to sing!
And
oh! What celestial music
We
brought to our Savior and King!
We
sang the glad songs of redemption,
How
Jesus of Bethlehem
And
how they had called His name Jesus,
That
all might be saved through His name.
We
sang once again with the angels,
The
song they sang that blessed morn,
When
shepherds first heard the glad story
That
Jesus, the Savior, was born.
O,
dear one, I wish you had been here.
No
Christmas on earth could compare
With
all the rapture and glory
We
witnessed in Heaven so fair.
You
know how I always loved Christmas;
It
seemed such a wonderful day,
With
all my loved ones around me,
The
children so happy and gay.
Yes,
now I can see why I loved it,
And,
oh, what a joy it will be
When
all of my loved ones are with me,
To
share in the glories I see.
So
dear ones on earth here’s my greeting –
Look
up ‘til the day’s dawn appears,
And,
oh, what a Christmas awaits us
Beyond
all our partings and tears.
