JESUS IS BORN, ANGEL ON HIGH, SHEPHERD'S STAR OF CHRISTMAS, SHEPHERDS STAR OF BETHLEHEM,
|
O HOLY NIGHT
I was returning from quieting the sheep As I drew my shawl tighter around me, Warming myself from the chill of the night As I walked toward the small cooking fire.
Luke was seated
warming his hands While Peter was sipping on some broth As I sat down stretching my hands out To warm the
chill from my fingers.
It was then that I heard a rushing sound Like a wind, yet from the corner of my eye
I saw nothing move, yet it continued, Then suddenly came a golden glow.
It was everywhere
as if it were noon, It was then that Luke said excitingly, In a rapid voice of alarm, "David, look
up! Wow, it can't be!"
I looked up and there was a wonderful Unbelievable sight to behold, For hovering eight feet in the air Was a woman in white smiling at me.
Her radiance was beyond description,
I froze in unbelief and looked at Peter, His face glowed in great wonderment, I explained, "It is an
angel from God."
Then the angel said to us, "Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good
tidings of great joy Which will be to all people.
For there is born to you this day In the city of
David a Savior, Who is Christ the Lord And this will be the sign to you.
You will find a Babe wrapped
In swaddling cloths, 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,
Goodwill toward men!"
So it was, when the angels had gone Away from us into heaven, That
I said to Luke and Peter, "Let us now go to Bethlehem!
Let us see this thing That has come to
pass, Which the Lord Has made known to us."
We left our sheep and went With haste, following
the star, Finding Mary and Joseph And the Babe lying in a manger.
We fell to our knees adoring Christ,
Later telling Mary and Joseph How the angel had come to us And they marveled in awe with us.
Life
was never the same again For I have told many of the visit Of the Christmas angels that night Yes, the night
Jesus was born.
