And then an angel of the Lord appeared to the shepherds as they tended their flock. They were frightened a first, but then the angel said, “Fear not! For I bring you glad tidings of great joy. For today in the city of David a Savior is born.” And suddenly the sky was filled with a heavenly host of angels all singing, “Glory to God in the highest! And on Earth, peace. Good will to all men.”
