Week Three: Shepherds

In fields outside the little town

Shepherds and their flocks lay down.

~

They thought their normal watch to keep.

~

But they were wakened from their sleep.

~

The angel brought the holy word

~

Of the arrival of the Lord.

~

The shepherds found Him as was said:

~

Their newborn king in manger-bed.
