When the song of angels is stilled<\/p>\n
When the star in the sky is gone,<\/p>\n
When the kings and princes are home<\/p>\n
When the shepherds are back with their flock,<\/p>\n
The work of Christmas begins:<\/p>\n
To find the lost<\/p>\n
To heal the broken<\/p>\n
To feed the hungry<\/p>\n
To release the prisoner<\/p>\n
To bring peace among people<\/p>\n
To make music in the heart<\/p>\n
