The Snow Was Deep

The night was cold, the snow was deep.

They huddled by the fire to sleep
While watching over flocks of sheep.
 
Then there, above the snow’s cold creep,
Waves of Angel songs did sweep,
Proclaiming vows that God would keep.
 
Then they rose up and left their sheep.
Such joy required they take a leap
And find the child who lay asleep.
 
Though the snow lay cold and deep.
 
Luke 2:15
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.”
