SHEPHERDS GLORIFYING AND PRAISING GOD

Seeing the Angels of God was a once-in-a-lifetime event for the shepherds;

They would never be able to understand why they were so well-regarded!

There were many who were high-born and noble in heart and mind;

The visitation of the Shepherds would reflect Divine Love sublime.

 

But there was no mistaking what they saw and heard that night;

The glory of the Lord surrounded the angels had caused deep fright;

The powerful Angels had brought a special Message from God;

They announced the birth of the Messiah, Jesus Christ the Lord!

 

The Shepherds felt constrained to check what the angels has said;

They made haste to see the Baby with the angelic song in their head.

They were astonished when they came to the Manger where Jesus was born;

All that the Angels had said were true! They remembered the Angels’ song.

 

The Shepherds returned to look after their sheep in the open fields that night;

But they returned with hearts and minds that had seen the Great Light.

They could not help but glorify and praise the God of their forefathers;

They would forever proclaim the joyous Christmas message to others!
