My First Christmas in Heaven ¹

Version française

I see below me the world covered with so many Christmas trees
With little lights, like the stars in heaven reflecting on the snow.

It's such a spectacular sight, I beg of you, dry your tears,
Because I am spending Christmas in the presence of Jesus this year.
I hear the Christmas carols so loved by the world.
Please be happy because I am spending Christmas with Jesus this year.

I sent each of you a present from my heavenly home beyond.
I sent each of you a reminder of my lasting love.
After all, love is a present more precious than pure gold.
It was always there in all the stories that Jesus related.
In grace, love one another and watch over each other as my father asked.
For, I can mesure neither love nor graces that He reserves for each of you,
Therefore, have a happy Christmas and wipe away your tears,
Remember that I am spending Christmas day with Jesus this year.
