Angels Song


The angel sat by the Christmas tree

Awaiting the saviours birth

He readied himself to praise the Lord

And to hail the virgin birth

He had practiced for eternity

For this moment of great joy

Like the other seraphim

He would issue in the boy

The boy whose life would change the world

Bring us from the dark

But only those with lightness

Would finally shake off the stark

Realities of the material world

Join the happy throng

That’s why He came with a whisper

Into this world of ours



Then the angel drew a mighty breath

Joined with the others song

Let his hearts joy push forward

Into the planets happy throng

The whisper reached around the world

Building up its speed

Keeping the breath going round and round

Allow the light to breathe



So when you wake in this time of joy

Say ‘Thank you’ for His birth

A show of appreciation that will last throughout the year

For often a whisper in the darkness

Can be as loud as a mighty throng

As long as your heart is open

To the angels gentle song
