I think that looks like "peaceful wings, unfurled". I say they came down to show me that!:)

It came upon the midnight clear, That glorious song of old, From angels bending near the earth, To touch their harps of gold: "Peace on the earth, goodwill to men From heavens all gracious King!" The world in solemn stillness lay To hear the angels sing.

Still through the cloven skies they come, With peaceful wings unfurled; And still their heavenly music floats O'er all the weary world: Above its sad and lowly plains They bend on hovering wing, And ever o'er its Babel sounds The blessed angels sing.

O ye beneath life's crushing load, Whose forms are bending low, Who toil along the climbing way With painful steps and slow; Look now, for glad and golden hours Come swiftly on the wing; Oh rest beside the weary road And hear the angels sing.

For lo! the days are hastening on, By prophets seen of old, When with the ever-circling years Shall come the time foretold, When the new heaven and earth shall own The Prince of Peace, their King, And the whole world send back the song Which now the angels sing.

God did a special thing when Jesus was born. He sent the angels to touch the earth with the historic message. This hymn makes me think about God wrapping peace itself into the wings of the angels, just to be unwrapped throughout the ages, in Christ. That Writer amazingly captured the ageold war against war. Jesus is the peace. They are still singing about it and so are we.
