Christmas angels

The Christmas message is angels!
They come to each one who's in need;
They bring the appropriate message
To comfort, companion, and lead.
They spoke to the traveling Wise Men,
Led them to stable secure,
They spoke to the wakeful shepherds,
Whose thinking was simple and pure.

They spoke to receptive Mary,
Announcing the birth of her babe.
They spoke to the patient Joseph,
As he quietly waited and prayed.
And today these angels still speak to us all,
Telling of God's tender care,
Their song unpolluted, unfettered and free,
A chorus that's heard everywhere.

They lead you to see the Christ-presence,
Companion you morning and night.
They tell you how much you are cherished,
Emblazon your dark skies with light.
So don't feel alone and uncared for,
Unstabled, unloved, and adrift.
An ageless army of angels
Is your glorious Christmas-tide gift.
