Poem " First Christmas In Heaven "To Rev. Uncle Llyod Bardowell family and to all the Bardowell-Bardwill

My Uncle Lloyd passed away. He was a great Preacher/Evanglist/Pastor. He led me to Jesus and I was called also into the ministry!


FIRST CHRISTMAS IN HEAVEN

I’ve had my first Christmas in Heaven, A glorious, wonderful day!

I stood with saints of the ages who found Christ the Truth and the Way.

I sang with the Heavenly choir: Just think–I, who longed so to sing!

And, oh, what celestial music we brought to our Saviour and King!

We sang the glad songs of redemption, how Jesus to Bethlehem came,

And how they called His Name Jesus, That all might be saved through His Name.

We sang once again with the angels, the song that they sang that blest morn,

When shepherds first heard the glad story that Jesus, the Saviour, was born.

O, how I wish you had been there; No Christmas on earth could compare

With all the rapture and glory we witnessed in Heaven so fair.

You know how I always loved Christmas; it seemed such a wonderful day,

With all of my loved ones around me, the children excited and gay.

Yes, now I can see why I loved it, and oh, what a joy it will be

When you and my loved ones are with me to share in the glories I see.

So, dear ones on earth, here’s my greeting: Look up till the day dawn appears,

And oh, what a Christmas awaits us, Beyond all our partings and tears!

~~Dr. Albert Simpon Reitz~~
