Forrest’s music captures this message with stirring harmonies and gentle reverence, reminding listeners that the true spirit of Christmas begins when we serve others.

Where to Purchase: https://beckenhorstpress.com/the-work-of-christmas-satb/ Lyrics When the song of the angels is stilled, When the star in the sky is gone, When the kings and princes are home, When the shepherds are back with their flock, The work of Christmas begins: To find the lost, To heal the broken, To feed the hungry, To release the prisoner, To rebuild the nations, To bring peace among brothers, To make music from the heart. When the song of the angels is stilled, When the star in the sky is gone, When the kings and princes are home, When the shepherds are back with their flock, The work of Christmas begins. #TheWorkOfChristmas #DanForrest #HowardThurman #Sunday7pmChoir #SacredChoralMusic Thanks for watching the videoThe Work of Christmas | Dan Forrest | Sung by Sunday 7pm Choir (Live at St. Francis de Sales Parish)
