*
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 .
*
And the angel said to them ,
Do not fear ,
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 is 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 among men !
*
And so it came about ,
when the angels had departed from them into Heaven ,
that the shepherds said to one another ,
Let us go at once 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 ,
they made widely known the saying which was told them concerning this Child .
*
And all those who heard it marveled 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 the things that they had heard and seen ,
as it was told them .
