Music (for men's voices - AATB) composed and performed by David W Solomons (dwsChorale)
Poem:
Order of the Day
DAWN
The new light softly streams,
Through the lace curtains,
And I try to mend my dreams
Till Im myself again.
NOON
I look into the sky,
Where cirrus clouds collide,
Laze in the summer light,
While the breeze talks to me.
EVENING
A time for rose-red thought,
Long shadows casting,
Memories fleeting,
Fading and fraught.
DUSK
Dusk is for grieving,
And for private tears.
Perhaps for believing
Despite what we fear.

Which fills the heavens and earth at his amazing birth
And you, oh glorious star, that with new splendor brings
From the remotest parts three learned eastern kings
Cease you blessed angels, clamorous noise to make
Though midnight silence favors, shepherds are awake
And you, oh glorious star, that with new splendor brings
From the remotest parts three learned eastern kings
Gloria in excelsis deo...
Christmas is in glory, all torment past
What 'ere betide us now grant us the same at last
Through both Thy joyous angels in strife and hurry fly
With glory and hosanna they cry."
