Lyrics:

The blessed dawn of christmas day

As honestly as children pray

The warmth that melts the eve away

The holiness of alpenglow


I rose to join the glorious morn

Whose calm and splendor would adorn

The virgin mother's infant born

The blessed dawn of christmas day


I pray one day my heart will see

The light of god's eternity

And know that jesus died for me

Now close, my eyes

So I may rise

At blessed dawn of christmas day
