*
And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field ,
and keeping watch over their flock by night .
*
And an angel of the Lord came to them ,
and the glory of the Lord shone around them ;
and they were in great fear .
*
And the angel said to them ,
Fear not ;
for lo !
I bring you good tidings of great joy ,
which shall be to the whole people ;
*
for to you hath been born this day ,
in the city of David ,
a Saviour ,
who is the Christ ,
the Lord .
*
And this shall be the sign to you :
Ye shall find a babe wrapped in swathing
clothes ,
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 among men of good will !"
*
And it came to pass ,
when the angels had gone away from them into heaven ,
that the shepherds said one to another ,
Let us go at once to Bethlehem ,
and see that which hath come to pass ,
which the Lord hath made known to us .
*
And they came with haste ,
and found Mary and Joseph ,
and the babe lying in the manger .
*
And when they had seen it ,
they made known abroad what had been told them concerning this child .
*
And all who heard wondered at the things which were told them by the shepherds .
*
But Mary kept all these things ,
and pondered them in her heart .
*
And the shepherds returned ,
glorifying and praising God for all which they had heard and seen ,
as had been told them .
