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 Heav­en 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 them when they pray.

I am so glad on Christ­mas Eve!

His prais­es then I sing;

He op­ens then for ev­ery child

The pal­ace of the King.
