Poem
Once more in the Christmas spirit - - - Shepherd Boy First I saw the East Star, shining Oh so bright Then I heard the voices through the silent night It was the angels singing stories from the past About the prophets’ prophecies – the Messiah’s come at last They led me to a stable where a babe was fast asleep And once there at the stable; tears of joy I’d weep For lying in the manger, his head upon the hay I saw the new born baby and heard the angels say Glory to God in the highest Peace to men of good will To the world has come the Messiah And all of my world stood still Then I looked and the stable was crowded The shepherds had all come to see What all the angels had told them And who this Messiah might be A babe, just a babe in a manger One the angels had said would be king And the glow of love shown in that manger When the angels again start to sing Glory to God in the highest Peace to men of good will To the world has come the Messiah Whom all of our dreams will fulfill We all fell to our knees in the manger Praised God in the heavens above And knew in our hearts that this newborn Would be of God’s greatness and love And then in the brightness of morning We finally left then alone For this child must grow to a young man Before his true calling is known But all of us shepherds were changed now By everything we had observed Of seeing our Lord in the manger And His praises from angels we heard Glory to God in the highest Peace to men of good will To the world has come the Messiah And this love of God’s with us still Mdailey
