I Am So Glad Each Christmas Eve  
Composer(s): Peder Knudsen; Marie Wexelsen

I am so glad each Christmas Eve
The night of Jesus' birth!
Then like the sun the Star shone forth
And angels sang on earth

The little Child in Bethlehem
He was a King indeed!
For He came down from heaven above
To help a world in need

He dwells again in heaven's realm
The Son of God today
And still He loves His little ones
And hears them when they pray

I am so glad on Christmas Eve!
His praises then I sing
He opens then for every child
The palace of the King

When mother trims the Christmas tree
Which fills the room with light
She tells me of the wondrous Star
That made the dark world bright

She says the Star is shining still
And never will grow dim
And if it shines upon my way
It leads me up to Him

And so I love each Christmas Eve
And I love Jesus, too
And that He loves me every day
I know so well is true
