This summary is of a Christmas carol that describes angels singing before the birth of Jesus Christ. The angels are instructed to fold their wings and bow before the marvel of Jesus' birth. They are told to proclaim the birth and peace brought by Christ, tearing the sky apart with light and news. The sleeping world is awakened with song on the day God has made, as the celestial throng gathers in royal splendor. The love that the angels have always known is now shown to the loveless world through the birth of Jesus, breaking upon the deathly night.
