MAXINE: A little peace … at last. That's what this baby has brought all
of us.
HEYWOOD: (moving to the manger) Joseph, Mary. It is such an honor to
meet you both. And what is the baby's name?
JOSEPH: His name is Jesus. This is the name the angel told us to give
the child. It means: "He will save His people from their sins."
(Now everyone slowly kneels before the manger.)
HEYWOOD: (smiling, puts down the lamb in front of the manger) I want to
give Jesus this lamb. For He is the shepherd I will serve now.
GABBY: (giving Mary her cashmere wrap) And here is my wrap. The
baby needs to stay warm.
ENOCH: Heywood, I hope you'll keep your shepherd's staff … and
return to the hills with Piper, Dakota and myself. For you,
my son, truly have a shepherd's heart.
MAXINE: And Gabby and Wolfgang, I'd like you to stay in Bethlehem
and work here at the stable. Now you all have a home. (the
brother and sister hug each other)
(music begins to "Lamb of God")
HEYWOOD: (deeply moved) Thank you, Enoch. We've finally found
something that will last … forever.
ENOCH: Yes, it will last. Forever and ever. (proclaiming) And so, as it
is written, by Isaiah, the prophet of God: "Unto us a child is
born, unto us a son is given. And he will be called Wonderful
Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, (with special
meaning) Prince … of Peace."
