1. When the song of the angels is stilled.
            F           C      G7
   When the star in the sky is gone.
            C             F              C               Am
   When the kings and the shepherds have found their way home.
       F                      G
   The work of Christmas is begun!
      C       F               C
2. To find the lost and lonely one,
      F         C                G7
   To heal that broken soul with love,
      C               F             C               Am
   To feed the hungry children with warmth and good food,
      F                             G
   To feel the earth below the sky above!
      C        F                 C
3. To free the prisoner from his chains,
      F        C        G7
   To make the powerful care,
      C           F            C                Am
   To rebuild the nations with strength and goodwill,
      F                            G
   To call a man your brother everywhere.
            C       F              C   
4. To bring hope to every task you do, 
      F          C          G7
   To dance at a baby's new birth,
      C          F     C         Am
   To make music in an old man's heart, 
       F                         G
   And sing to the colors of the earth!
