Advent Day 17 - Shepherds in Bethlehem

 
Like 2:15-16
When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let’s go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.” So, they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger.

They rose and went to Bethlehem
To kneel down at His side.
The words that they had heard last night,
Brought joy they could not hide.

An awe that took their breath away,
Though humble in His birth,
The savior the angels proclaimed
Had come to redeem earth.

And they were first to hear the word,
Not kings upon their throne,
But those who’d lived without a hope
Were claimed first as His own.
