For the Christ-Child who comes is the Master of all;
No palace too great and no cottage too small.
—Phillips Brooks.
[THE CHRISTMAS SONG]
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying: "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will to man."
—St. Luke.
The shepherds were watching their flocks
On a beautiful starlit night,
When the sky was suddenly filled
With a band of angels bright.
Oh! shepherds fear not but rejoice,
For we bring good news, they sing;
In Bethlehem is born this day,
A saviour who is Christ your King!
A glad and wonderful song
Rang through the heavens then;
It was "Glory to God on high,
Peace on earth, good will toward men."
