Christmas in Heaven
I'm wondering what Christmas in Heaven is like.
As I grieve alone and pray,
Longing for one who has gone before,
To spend Christmas in Heaven today.
And so in my dreams, I wander far,
From scenes and sounds of earth.
Til I catch the strains of the Heavenly choir,
As they sing of the Christ's Child's birth.
Angels and Saints, I envision there,
As they join in the festive day,
And there 'mid the throng is my loved one,
Spending Christmas in Heaven today.
There's joy in a faith that teaches,
When our life's work here is done,
Of a place in Heaven awaiting,
And the crown we worked for is won.
In our way we learn well the lesson,
So to work and suffer and pray,
As to merit the joys of our loved one,
And to spend Christmas together some day.
