The
sun's going down on Sand Mountain,
And the
darkness falls swift on the scene;
A
full moon begins rising on Lookout,
Casting light on a picture serene.
In
our town nestled down in the valley
Are
the headlights of folks coming home;
Some
with cars filled with gifts and with goodies,
Some
with family and friends who have roamed.
In
the square the chimes are heard clearly
Of
the Methodist Church down the street;
Playing carols we all love so dearly,
Making the spirit of Christmas complete.
The
lights of the churches burn brightly,
Calling the faithful to come and to pray;
As
the pastors once more tell the story
Of
the birth of our Savior that day.
On
the streets comes the smell of home cooking,
Hot
biscuits and blackberry jam;
Pumpkin pies in some houses are baking,
Somewhere else we can smell country ham.
Many
go visit their neighbors
With
cookies and candy they made;
Wishing each other good tidings
As hugs and
kisses they trade.
The
children are all so excited,
It's
so hard to send them to sleep;
In the bedroom Mom's wrapping her presents
In
an effort her secrets to keep.
The
spirit of joy is contagious
As we
forget our problems awhile;
Let's
celebrate this season of gladness
Giving all who we meet a warm smile.
Darkness has settled on Trenton
But
over Sand Mountain above,
A
bright star is gloriously shining,
Our
assurance of God's grace and love.
I'm
new in this little community
But I
want everyone far and near;
To
receive my love at this Christmas,
And with hopes
of a blessed New Year!
