The Night Before Christmas


Twas the night before Christmas in Bethlehem town
Creatures were stirring from all around
From the outer limits to the town's square
People came for the census from everywhere

Activity was bustling at the towns largest inn
So many people there was no room for Joseph to enter in
What would he tell Mary--it had been such a long day
Where would they go where would they stay

Mary with child was tired from such a long trip
All she wanted was to lie down and rest
The inn keeper felt sad to turn them away
He sent them to the stable with a bed made of hay

And there it was that a miracle took place
with angels singing of His mercy and grace
In the dawn of a heavenly Christmas morn
The baby Jesus, savior of the world was born!
