Psalms_23-1: The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want

While Shepherds watched 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 mankind.

 

 

 

 

 

To you, in David’s town, this day

Is born, of  David’s line,

A Saviour, who is Christ the Lord

And this shall be the sign;

 

 

 

 

 

 

The heavenly Babe you there

shall find

To human view displayed,

All meanly wrapped

In swadding bands

And in a manger laid

 

 

 

 

Thus spake the seraph: and forth-with

Appeared a shining throng

Of angels praising God, who thus

Addressed their joyful song.
