His stars that sing around the Tree of light.
We will hasten! We will heed!
We will bind His wounds that bleed;
We will build His works of joy and charity.
We are risen, and we hark!
We are coming through the dark—
We are coming, we are coming to the Tree!
(As they approach the Tree, the Singers of Chorus B lay off their Red over-garments and join the Chorus in White. The two Choruses now form one.
Joined, in their singing, by the Host of Herod, the Outcasts, and by All the Assembled People, they raise their Voices together.)
