10. As We Deck Our Houses

1 As we deck our houses
With twinkling lights aflame,
So the stars shone overhead
The nkght that Baby came.

2 As we hear the carols
All about the town,
Shepherds heard the angels sing
The night the lord came down.

3 As we give our presents
To the ones we love,
So God gave the greatest Gift:
His true Son from above.
