I've had my first Christmas in Heaven
A glorious, wonderful day,
I stood with the saints of the ages
Who found Christ the Truth and the Way.

I sang with the heavenly choir,
Just think, I joined in to sing.
And oh, what celestial music
We brought to our Savior and King.

We sang the glad songs of redemption,
How Jesus to Bethlehem came.
And how they called his name "Jesus"
That all might be saved through His name.

We sang once again with the angels
The message they sang that glad mourn,
When shepherds first heard the glad story,
That Jesus, the Savior was born.

Oh dear ones, I wish you had been there.
No Christmas on earth could compare,
With all of its rapture and glory
We witnessed in heaven so fair.

You know how I always loved Christmas
It seemed such a wonderful day.
With all of my loved ones around me
The children so happy and gay.

Yes, now I can see why I loved it.
And oh, what a joy it will be
When you and my loved ones are with me
To share the glories I see.

So dear ones on earth, here's my greeting,
Look up, till the day dawn appears,
Oh, what a Christmas awaits!
Beyond our parting tears
