The Work of Christmas

The Work of Christmas
Words & Music by Tony Wood & Steve Siler

When the star has faded from the sky
And the wise men have departed
When the shepherds tend their flocks again
Then begins the work of Christmas

When the Angels song is heard no more
And the child has left the manger
And it’s one more day in Bethlehem
Then begins the work of Christmas

To feed the hungry, heal the sick
To love the least of these
To bind the broken hearted
And set the captives free

Our nativity is packed away
And we’ve stored the cards and candles
Bid goodbye to friends and family
Now begins the work of Christmas

To feed the hungry, heal the sick
To love the least of these
To bind the broken hearted
And set the captives free

Now the storefront garlands all are down
And the church bells all stand silent
As the grey of winter settles in
Then begins the work of Christmas
When the carols fade and December ends
Then begins the work of Christmas
