The Lord’s Angel appeared to Shepherds in the field
Merry Christmas to All
The humblest shepherds in the fields of Bethlehem,
Amazed by the sight and words of the angel,
'Do not be afraid, share the good news of great joy,
because a savior has been born to you in the town of David,
he is Christ the Lord,'
Who announced the birth of Jesus, the Son of God,
Were startled by the sight of God's angel.
Lord, you have seen the pure hearts of the shepherds
You gave them the privilege to know, Jesus was born
A great blessing for those who are humble in heart
To witness the salvation and plan of God
The Angel of God sang Gloria to the Most High
The heavenly hosts came along and praised God
'Glory to God in the highest heaven
And on earth peace for those He favors'
Lord, you brought salvation to all humanity
By giving your own Son, Jesus Christ
The humble Mary of Nazareth chosen to be Mother of God
Father, You chose Joseph to be the guardian of Jesus
Shepherds were filled with joy in their hearts
They left the the field with all their herds
They took honey, milk, food and warm clothes for the holy family
And rushed towards the place where the Child Jesus was born
The shepherds never doubted the message of the Angel
They left everything behind and proceeded to see Jesus and to adore him
Lord has opened their heart to understand mystery of His Incarnation
Which he always reveales to the humble and poor in spirit
They found Jesus in swaddling clothes
Found the Child Jesus lying in a manger
They adored Jesus and praised God for the wonderful gift
They served the holy family with a joyful heart
The Word became flesh and came into the world
To reveal Himself to all humanity
He became visible first to the humble shepherds of Bethlehem
And brought salvation to all souls
Lord, you chose shepherds, the poor and destitute
To serve you wholeheartedly
To them you poured your abundant grace,
The wisdom and knowledge of God
The shepherds proclaimed the good news to the holy family and to the whole village,
Of the marvelous things the angel had told them.
The savior is born, Christ the Lord.
Heavenly hosts surrounded by angels glorified God
As for Mary, she treasured what the shepherds said and
Pondered them in her heart!
The shepherds glorified God, glory to God in the highest heaven
And on earth peace for those he favors!
Hodie, Christus Natus Est!
