Soft and velvety was that glorious first herald
as shepherds dutifully watched their flocks
under the bright stars that wondrous night.
In a lowly manger HE lay with no fanfare to
HIS wonderful birth,and not a soul understanding
why He had appeared upon this earth.
Then came the angels of Heaven singing their praise,
and kings from afar appeared with gifts to bear.
Shepperd's and kings alike bowed in humility before
the newborn KING and worshiped the LORD born
to save the world on that first CHRISTMAS night.
