THE SONG HEARD 'ROUND THE WORLD - SATB
68
NARRATOR:
The angels declared the birth of the Christ Child with heavenly power. Yet,
it was not to the powerful that the message was gifted. The divine
declaration was delivered to simple shepherds keeping watch over flocks in
the Judean countryside. It was clear from this graceful gesture that this good
news was for every person and every nation.
Such magnificent words the angels spoke that night; beautiful words of
worship and adoration. And
shining brightly in their soaring anthem of
praise were the cherished words that we still cling to today: "PEACE ON
EARTH."
Such hope and promise these words awaken in us. Why do the nations so
furiously rage against one another when, in truth, we are all children of the
Light and one people in the promise? Let us then, as one, follow the
shepherds to Bethlehem to worship the newborn PRINCE OF PEACE.
Together,
let us rejoice, for Christ, the Lord, is born!
