*
Now there were in the same country shepherds living out in the fields ,
keeping watch over their flock by night .
*
And behold ,
an angel of the Lord stood before them ,
and the glory of the Lord shone around them ,
and they were greatly afraid .
*
Then the angel said to them , "
Do not be afraid ,
for behold ,
I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people .
*
For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior ,
who is Christ the Lord .
*
And this will be the sign to you :
You will find a Babe wrapped in swaddling cloths ,
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 ,
goodwill toward men !"
*
So it was ,
when the angels had gone away from them into heaven ,
that the shepherds said to one another , "
Let us now go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has come to pass ,
which the Lord has made known to us ."
*
And they came with haste and found Mary and Joseph ,
and the Babe lying in a manger .
*
Now when they had seen Him ,
they made widely known the saying which was told them concerning this Child .
*
And all those who heard it marveled at those things which were told them by the shepherds .
*
But Mary kept all these things and pondered them in her heart .
*
Then the shepherds returned ,
glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen ,
as it was told them .
