The Nativity of the Lord

“Now there were shepherds in that region living in the fields and keeping the night watch over their flock. The angel of the Lord appeared to them and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were struck with great fear. The angel said to them, “Do not be afraid; for behold, I proclaim to you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. For today in the city of David a savior has been born for you who is Christ and Lord. And this will be a sign for you: you will find an infant wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger.” And suddenly there was a multitude of the heavenly host with the angel, praising God and saying: “Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.” -Luke 2:8-14
 
“Go, tell it on the mountain Over the hills and everywhere Go, tell it on the mountain That Jesus Christ is born.
While shepherds kept their watching O'er silent flocks by night Behold throughout the heavens There shone a Holy light.
The shepherds feared and trembled When, lo! Above the Earth Rang out the angel chorus That hailed our Savior's birth.
Down in a lowly manger Our humble Christ was born And brought us all salvation That blessed Christmas morn.
Go, tell it on the mountain Over the hills and everywhere Go, tell it on the mountain That Jesus Christ is born That Jesus Christ is born.”
 
From my family to yours, may you have a blessed Christmas day, and may the peace of Christ fill your homes.
