CAROLS – SATB
LUKE 2:8-18*
READER 1: Now there were in the same country shepherds living out in the
fields, keeping watch over their flock by night. And behold, an
angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord
shone around them, and they were greatly afraid.
READER 2: Then the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid, for behold, I
bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people.
For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior,
who is Christ the Lord. And this will be the sign to you: You
will find a Babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a man-
ger."
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heav-
enly host praising God and saying: "Glory to God in the highest,
and on earth peace, goodwill toward men!"
READER 1: So it was, when the angels had gone away from them into
heaven, that the shepherds said to one another, "Let us now go
to Bethlehem and see this thing that has come to pass, which
the Lord has made known to us." And they came with haste and
found Mary and Joseph, and the Babe lying in a manger.
READER 2: Now when they had seen Him, they made widely known the say-
ing which was told them concerning this Child. And all those
who heard it marveled at those things which were told them by
the shepherds.
