And there were in the same country shepherds,
abiding in the field, keeping watch over their
flocks by night.

And, lo, the angel of the Lord came
upon them, and the glory of the Lord
shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.

And the angel said unto them,
Fear not: for behold, I bring you good tidings
of great joy, which shall be to all people.

For unto you is born this day,
in the city of David, a Saviour,
which is Christ the Lord.

And this shall be a sign unto you:
Ye shall find the babe wrapped in
swaddling clothes, 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, good will toward men.

And it came to pass, as the angels
were gone away from them into heaven,
the shepherds said one to another,
Let us now go even unto Bethlehem,
and see this thing which is 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 a manger.

And when they had seen it, 
they made known abroad the saying
which was told them concerning the child.

And all they that heard it wondered
at those 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 unto them.
