Lil' children re~enact
Christ's holy Nativity . . .
tiny Mary and small Joseph
as they kneel so humbly ~

Precious babe, dear Christ Jesus,
lies asleeping on the hay . . .
glorious beams shine from Heav'n
upon the manger where HE lay ~

E'en the animals bow in awe
before HIM to adore . . .
for they have never witness'd
a King's special birth before ~

Shepherds come to worship HIM
and wise men from afar . . .
bring gold, frankincense, myrrh
they followed HIS bright star ~

Creatures HE created were
in awe of HIS birth . . .
wondering where the throne
of God~Man come to earth ~

The Seraphim & Cherabim
glorify HIM from above . . .
"Peace on earth ~ good will to men"
born a Saviour ~ purest LOVE ~

Though a babe so sweet & fair
HE'LL die a sacrifice some day . . .
holy blood ~ Eternal Stream
'twill wash all our sins away ~

Celebrate with us HIS birth
adore & praise ~ worship & love . . .
Fairest One ~ Jesus our Lord
sent to earth from Heav'n above !

And there were in the same country
shepherds abiding in the field, keeping
watch over their flock by night.
And, lo, the angel of the Lord came
upon them, and the glory of the Lord
shone round about them: and they
were sore afraid.
And the angel said unto them,
"Fear not: for, behold, I bring you
tidings of great joy, which shall be
to all people.
For unto you is born day in the city
of David a Saviour, which is
Christ the Lord.
And this shall be a sign unto you;
Ye shall find the babe wrapped in
swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
And suddenly there was with the angel
a multitude of the heavenly host
praising God, and saying,
Glory to God in the highest,
and on earth peace, good will toward men.

And it came to pass, as the angels
were gone away from them into heaven,
the shepherds said one to another,
Let us now go even unto Bethlehem,
and see this thing which is come to pass,
which the Lord hath made known unto us.

And they came with haste, and found
Mary and Joseph, and the babe lying
in a manger.
And when they had seen it, they made
known abroad the saying which was
told them concerning this child.

St. Luke 2:8~17
