Christmas In Heaven

I wonder what Christmas in Heaven is like
As I grieve alone and pray;
Longing for my mother who has gone on before
To spend Christmas in Heaven today.

And in my dreams I wander far
From the scenes and sounds of Earth;
Until I hear the sounds of the Heavenly choir
As they sing of our Savior’s birth.

My mother I envision there
As she joins in the festive play;
And there amid the throng is our Savior
Spending Christmas in Heaven today.

In my grief may I learn well the lesson
As I work and suffer and pray;
As to merit the joys of my loved one
And to spend Christmas with her some day.
