Harry Connick, Jr.

The Blessed Dawn Of Christmas Day

The blessed dawn of Christmas day

As honestly as children pray

The warmth that melts the eve away

The holiness of afterglow

I rose to join the glorious morn

Whose calm and splendor would adorn

The virgin mother's infant born

The blessed dawn of Christmas day

The hearts of sinners reconciled

Amid the ancient morrow mild

Exalt the birth of Mary's child

The blessed dawn of Christmas day

I pray one day my heart will see

The light of God's eternity

And know that Jesus died for me

Now close, my eyes

So I may rise

At blessed dawn of Christmas day
