In the Early Morning, I Found Christmas

In the early morning, I found
Peace for quiet devotion
A song inside of me did sound
Awaking me with emotion

Like a child pure and innocent
I arose to find the babe
There I in awe and wonderment
Picked up the child sweetly made

In my hands with arms reaching out
The Savior was welcoming
And with feelings I could not doubt
I knew again He's coming!

In tears of joy my eyes did raise
As anticipation grew
Soon angels will proclaim and praise
The mighty one come anew

Then in humility I knelt
To express my gratitude
For the Light of Christ I felt
And the warmth that did exude

So thankful I am before I slept
I had read God's holy word
And that I had awoke and leapt
With the most lovely music heard...
