THE MIDNIGHT SONG
When shepherds watched their flocks at night. The midnight sky was filled with light, An angel’s voice spoke unto them, “Christ is horn in Bethlehem.” Angel bands gave forth the cry, “Glory be to God on high**; In a stable on the hay The infant Saviour sleeping lay. TBs mother watched His sleepy ' face so fair. And bowed her head in silent prayer. While angels sang tip in the sky, “Glory be to God on high.” —•MATE IRISH COHGEEN, Rakaia.
