I want to see the baby in the manger, yes, I do,

I want to gaze upon him with a child’s eyes and view,

I want to see him all wrapped up in his swaddling clothes,

I want to gaze upon his little fingers and his toes,

I want to smooth his hair, all downy, soft, and fuzzy,

I want to hold him close to me, all snug, and oh so cuddly,

I want to kiss his cheek, so soft and sweet and smooth,

I want to watch him yawn and blink and watch him stretch and move,

I want to pat his little back and smell his baby smell,

I want to see the baby who doeth all things well.

I want to see the baby, I want Him to dwell in me,

I want to see the baby for He has set me free,

I want to see the baby and be lost in child-like love,

I can’t wait to see the baby and live with Him above!

We are here, here, and here, gazing at the baby dear in other years!

Blessed, blessed Christmas Eve!
