“When the song of 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 the brothers,

to make music in the heart.”    -Howard Thurman
