Love came down at
Christmas,
love all lovely, love divine,
love was born at Christmas,
stars and angels gave the sign.

Christmas angel quotes:
Charlie Brown: (shouting
in desperation) Isn't there anyone out there who can tell me what
Christmas is all about?
Linus Van Pelt: Sure, Charlie Brown, I can tell you. Lights,
please.
[A spotlight shines on Linus] "And there were in the same
country shepherds abiding in the fields, keeping watch over their flocks
by night. And lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the
glory of the Lord shone round about them, and they were so afraid.
And the angel said unto them, Fear not, for behold, I bring unto you
good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto
you this day is born in the City of Bethlehem, a Savior, which is Christ
the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; you shall find the
babe wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger. And
suddenly there was with the angel, a multitude of the heavenly host,
praising God, and Saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on Earth
peace, good will toward men." That's what Christmas is all
about, Charlie Brown. Charles Schultz, "A Charlie Brown Christmas"
The earth has grown old
with its burden of care
But at Christmas it always is young,
The heart of the jewel burns lustrous and fair
And its soul full of music breaks the air,
When the song of angels is sung. Phillips Brooks
The angels sang at
Christmas
With all the hosts above,
And still we sing the newborn King
His glory and his love. Timothy Dudley-Smith, "A Song was Heard at Christmas"
