“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 flocks, the work of Christmas begins: to find the lost,

to release the prisoner,
to rebuild the nations,
to bring peace among the people, to make music in the heart.”
