  • So bright
    Jewel in the night
    There in my window below
    So bright
    Dark as the night
    with all of our cities aglow
    It's long been our way
    To honor this day
    And offer goodwill to men
    And though
    Where ever we go
    It's come around to Christmas again
    So far
    Shines every star
    There without limit to see
    So grand
    Faraway land
    Beckoning calling to me
    And let it be shown
    Wherever we go
    In all of the wonders above
    With all that we bring
    There's no finer thing
    Than this message this promise of love
    Love for the families that gather below
    Love for the stranger that you'll never know
    For those who are with you
    who wander above
    So bright
    Jewel in the night
    There lies the cradle we knew
    Home of
    All that we love
    And all of our memories too
    It shall be our way to wander away
    To take with us all that we know
    And never cease
    This message of peace
    From Bethlehem so long ago Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
