Picture a stable in Judea. Picture a sacred, silent night.
And can you hear The angels near And see the stars so bright?
Picture the kind and gentle Joseph. Picture the mother, Mary, fair.
And can you see So rev'rently The shepherds kneeling there?
Picture the little baby Jesus. Think of his life and words so dear.
Sing praise to him; Remember him, As you picture Christmas this year.
(Words and music: Patricia Kelsey Graham, b. 1940)
This is one of my favorite Christmas songs. I remember learning how to play it on the piano, and as I played, I really tried to picture that sacred, silent night. I love to picture the angels, singing their praises. Maybe I was one of them! I think even now, as I sing the Christmas hymns, I can sing my praises and think of the baby Jesus.
