Poetry

---

Shepherds tended their flock,
Watching them like a hawk;
Taking turns during the night,
Until the dawning light.

An angel from the Lord,
That could not be ignored;
Appeared within their sight,
Shining glory so bright.

They just trembled with fear,
With this being so near;
Causing them such a fright,
Like a ghost in the night.

Do not fear it was said,
By an angel up ahead;
Not a time to be sad,
But tidings that are glad.

A Savior born this day,
In a manger to lay;
Christ the Lord came to earth,
A boy of virgin birth.

The angels praised on high,
For Christ the Lord is nigh;
From God up in Heaven,
A Savior is given.
