The Work of Christmas

The Work of Christmas

 

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 heal the broken,

To feed the hungry

To release the prisoner,

To teach the nations,
To bring Christ to all,

To make music in the heart.

By Rev. Dr. Howard Thurman (1899-1981)
