A Song for Christmas Eve

Soft white snow­flakes

gent­ly fall­ing

Who has sent thee from the sky?

Down on earth

my sis­ters

call­ing

Bid me leave the clouds on high.

Sweet

soft mu­sic

like a flow­er

What has brought thy ca­dence here?

Silver bells with­in the tow­er

Sent me forth the world to cheer.

Star of ev­en­ing

stead­fast gleam­ing

Who has placed thy light ab­ove?

I keep watch o’er child­ren dream­ing;

God has kin­dled me with love.
