![]() Tuesday December 16th Song: While Sheperds Watched Scripture Verse Luke 2:8-20 |
|
And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks
at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around
them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you
good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a
Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will
find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger." Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests." When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, "Let's go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about." So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told. (NIV) |

While Shepherds watch their flocks by night All seated on the ground The angel of the Lord came down And glory shone around "Fear not," said he for mighty dread had seized their troubled mind "Glad tidings of great joy I bring To you and all man-kind" "To you in David's town this day Is born of David's line The Savior who is Christ the Lord And this shall be the sign The heav'n’ly babe you there shall find To human view displayed All meanly wrapped in swathing bands And in a manger laid" |
