To Light the Night

The lighthouse keepers are gone,
but the lights stay on.
I can't remember when
they glowed so bright,
but on the coast of Maine,
they do Christmas right.
They call the little place "Nubble Light."

The old Nubble Light
is showing in the dark winter's night,
covered from base to roof
in shining Christmas colors so bright.
The beacon shines far out to sea,
in the season that The Savior
was born to give eternal light on a silent night.

Santa came in on a fire truck from York.
Divers made an underwater tree float like a cork.
I can't remember when
Christmas lights glowed so bright,
smiling children on the coast of Maine
clapped at the beautiful sight,
and they all sang, "Silent Night."
