• When the song of the angels is stilled,
  When the star in the sky is gone,
  When the kings and princes are home,
  When the shepherds are back with their flock,
  The work of Christmas begins:
  ...To find the lost,
  To heal the broken,
  To feed the hungry,
  To release the prisoner,
  To rebuild the nations,
  To bring peace among brothers,
  To make music in the heart.

• A song was heard at Christmas
  To wake the midnight sky:
  A saviour's birth, and peace on earth,
  And praise to God on high.
  The angels sang at Christmas
  With all the hosts above,
  And still we sing the newborn King
  His glory and his love.
