| CHRISTMAS IN KOREA |
| "THE DIAMOND IN THE SKY"
Authors: Maj. Paul Sanders, USMC (Ret) and Frank Gross, I/3/7 Marines Twas two weeks plus before Christmas On the day of December seven No bells to ring or choir to sing As the snowflakes fell from heaven No shopping sprees or Christmas trees For this brotherhood of men Gods gift that night moved into sight When the star came back again The wind blew hard and chilling cold Beneath that starless sky Where the frost would bite like fire And the snow refused to die Emotions from their silent prayers Was showing from each eye And from their lips that silent wish For that diamond that diamond in the sky Oh God how much we need it Each soul inside did cry As they prayed to see that diamond Appearing in the sky Then just before the light of dawn You could hear the joyous shout Our prayers have now been answered For Gods star has just come out In ancient days God gave a sign To the shepherds and wise men too And a similar sign was seen by men That are known as the Chosin Few There is a star! There is a star ! They shouted with a tear dimmed eye Oh praise in rhyme at Christmas time For Gods diamond Gods diamond in the sky Men buttoned up their parkas And stood to shake off the snow Then gathered up their courage For the last few miles to go Through the enemy lines at Koto Ri They fought with spirits high Inspired by Gods special star They called the diamond, Gods diamond in the sky Like the twinkling lights of Christmas That sparkle on the tree The stars came out in multitudes And they lighted up koto ri Through the clearing skies the corsairs came Flying chariots filled the air Like the cavalrymen to the rescue And the guiding star was there For it was Gods star It was that star It was his diamond. The diamond in the sky |
