The Work of Christmas
When the song of the Angel 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 and sisters -
To make music in the Heart.
By Howard Thurman
