An Angel's Share

Deep inside this Christmas Eve
 Watching as the hours leave
 Gently drifting in the air
 Shadows of an angel's share
 Christmas lights
 On Christmas nights
 With peace for every nation
 Stable scenes
 And evergreens
 With snow still glistening
 Angels grace
 This humble place
 With hopes of our salvation
 Christmas cards
 And snow filled yards
 And children wondering
 Rejoice
 All awaken
 Rejoice
 Quickly hasten
 Rejoice
 For the newborn king
 Rejoice
 For the vision
 Rejoice
 He has given
 Hear the choirs as they sing
 Scrooge returns
 To once more learn
 That Christmas ghosts conspire
 To redeem
 His soul it seems
 But still he hesitates
 To believe
 He's not deceived
 Until this night inspires
 Him to find
 That at this time
 It never is too late
 Rejoice
 All awaken
 Rejoice
 Quickly hasten
 Rejoice
 For the newborn king
 Rejoice
 For the vision
 Rejoice
 He has given
 Hear the choirs as they sing
 And sing
 And sing
 And sign and sing and sing
 Winter dreams
 Her endless scenes
 In endless combinations
 To embrace
 This world of faith
 This world that we now see
 Every year
 It returns here
 With all its variations
 And as the day
 It fades away
 And we once more find that...
 Once again the promise kept
 One by one the angels slept
 So we leave this night in peace
 And the world in gentle sleep
