Analysis of Christmas Joy
In the hills Shepherds led their sheep
To a manger where a baby lay asleep
Overlooking Bethlehem one starlit night
Angel choirs sang among stars so bright
Reactions, amazement, wonder and joy
Heaven's gift, our Savior A baby boy
Recall the baby of Bethlehem tonight
He is Savior for all the world so bright
As each night I close my eyes to pray
Please bless babies everywhere each day
