an angels share (2003 remaster)

Deep inside this
Christmas
EveWatching 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
RejoiceAll awaken
RejoiceQuickly hasten
RejoiceFor the newborn king
RejoiceFor the vision
RejoiceHe has given
Hear the choirs as they sing
Scrooge returns
To once more learn
That Christmas ghosts conspire
To redeemHis 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
RejoiceAll awaken
RejoiceQuickly hasten
RejoiceFor the newborn king
RejoiceFor the vision
RejoiceHe has given
Hear the choirs as they sing
And sing and sing
And sing 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
