about

Luke 2:8-14

lyrics

When the shepherds kept their watching
There were no silent flocks
There were animals calling
Simple men at their jobs
And while Bethlehem was sleeping
There were angels aloft
Not over palaces or temples
But over shepherds and flocks

In the footsteps of David and Abel
Even if they had never been told
But though all are asleep
God keeps watching His sheep
So on this night, He sent them an angel

“Fear not, for behold
I bring you good news
There’s great joy for all people
God’s revealing to you
For in a Bethlehem stable
The Savior is born
You will find Him in a manger
He is Christ the Lord

Glory to God! Glory in the highest!
Glory, glory in the highest!
Glory to God! Glory in the highest!
Glory, glory in the highest!
And on earth, peace among
those with whom He’s pleased”
