‘Tis the sweet eve of Christmas Day
I pray that all will find the way
To the manger where Jesus sleeps
See the treasure His mother keeps
This quiet will last but a little while
For one day Mary will not smile
To see her son on a cross dying
His disciples all around her crying
But for now she cradles Him in her arms
Protecting the Christ Child from all harms
Seek Him now as the wise men do
He came out of love for me and you
