This exuberant, Christ-centered Christmas poem joyfully celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ as the central event of history and the source of all true joy.
It begins with the wondrous night in Bethlehem, marked by the radiant Star guiding the world to the Savior. Angels burst forth in glorious song, proclaiming “Glory to God in the highest!” The poem then invites us to behold the humble manger where Mary holds the King of Light, surrounded by Joseph, awestruck shepherds, and gift-bearing Wise Men.
With leaping hearts, we are called to rejoice in Christ’s incarnation—His coming to conquer sin, bring peace, and offer unending grace. Traditional symbols like holly wreaths, glowing candles, and twinkling lights proclaim His arrival and the truth of “Emmanuel—God with us.”
The poem crescendos in triumphant praise: hallelujahs and shouts of glory to His holy name, as believers celebrate with free and overflowing hearts the eternal Redeemer.
In essence, it is a vibrant declaration that Christmas is not merely a season, but the eternal reason for joy: Christ is born—rejoice forevermore!
In Bethlehem’s quiet night, under a sky ablaze with wonder,
A star bursts forth in radiant splendor!
Angels descend in glorious throng,
Singing with exuberant joy, “Glory to God in the highest!”
Behold the manger, humble and bright,
Where Mary cradles the King of Light!
Joseph stands guard, shepherds draw near,
Wise men approach with gifts sincere.
Oh, leap for joy, you hearts of earth!
Christ Jesus comes—our Savior’s birth!
He conquers sin, He brings us peace,
His love and grace shall never cease!
Wreaths of holly, candles aglow,
Proclaim His coming, let praises flow!
Lights twinkle bright in festive cheer,
For Emmanuel—God is here!
Sing hallelujah! Shout and proclaim:
All glory, honor to His holy name!
This Christmas day, with hearts exuberant and free,
We celebrate our Redeemer—eternally!
Merry Christmas—Christ is born! Rejoice forevermore!
Passionately Pursuing Christ
