16438. Christmas Song

1 I love the Christ­mas sto­ry
Because I know ’tis true;
And tho’ I’ve oft­en heard it,
Yet it is al­ways new.
It a bless­èd sto­ry,
As dear as it can be;
It tells me that my Sav­ior
Was once a child like me.

2 I love the Christ­mas sto­ry
Because it is so sweet;
Christ came to bless the child­ren,
And guide their lit­tle feet.
It is a pre­cious sto­ry,
It shows God’s love to me;
The more I think about it,
The more His love I see.

3 Then tell the Christ­mas sto­ry,
Oh, tell it now to­night,
How Je­sus came in glo­ry,
To fill the world with light.
Oh, tell the story, child­ren,
With voic­es glad and free;
How on that bless­èd Christ­mas
He came to you and me.
