24 December




the earth has grown old with its burden of care
but at christmas it always is young
the heart of the jewel burns lustrous and fair
and its soul full of music breaks the air
when the song of angels is sung

Deep peace of the running wave to you.
Deep peace of the flowing air to you.
Deep peace of the quiet earth to you.
Deep peace of the shining stars to you.
Deep peace of the gentle night to you.
Moon and stars pour their healing light on you
