The Very First Christmas Lights !!

 
 
 
RED  AND  GREEN,  ALL  COLORS  BRIGHT
ARE  A  SURE  SIGN  OF  CHRISTMAS  NOW
IT  SEEMS  WE  CAN'T  PUT  UP  ENOUGH
TO  CELEBRATE  THE  SEASON.
 
 
OUR  WINDOWS,  DOORS,  AND  FRONT  YARDS
ARE  DECORATED TO  THE  HILT.
WE  THINK  ABOUT  THE  CHRISTMAS  LIGHTS,
AT  THE  END  OF  THANKSGIVING  DAY.
 
 
BUT,  LETS  LOOK  OVER  TWO  THOUSAND  YEARS
TO  THE  FIRST  OF  ALL  CHRISTMAS  LIGHTS.
GOD  LIT  UP  A  STAR,  MOST  LOVELY  OF  ALL,
TO  ANNOUNCE  OUR  SAVIOUR'S  BIRTH.
 
 
OH !  I  WISH  I  COULD  HAVE  SEEN  IT,
AS  IT  SHONE  ON  THE  SHEPHERDS  THERE.
TO  LIGHT  THE  WAY  TO  BABY  JESUS,
THE  STAR  OVER  BETHELEM.
 
 
JUST  TO  HEAR  AND  SEE  AN  ANGEL,
IN  THE  LIGHT  OF  ALL  LIGHTS  TO  SHINE
THEN  HEAVENLY  CHORUS  OF  ANGELS,
WHILE  THEY  WORSHIPED  THE  LORD.
 
 
THAT  WAS  THE  GLORIOUS  FIRST  CHRISTMAS,
THE  NIGHT  THAT  JESUS  WAS  BOEN,
NO  DECORATIONS  WE  HAVE  TODAY  COULD  EQUAL
THAT  VERY  FIRST  CHRISTMAS  LIGHT. . .
