What Child Is This? (Prayer)

Lyrics

[Interlude: Terry Ellis] And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field Keeping watch over their flock by night And lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them And the glory of the Lord shone 'round about them And they were so afraid And the angel said unto them "Fear not, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which shall be to all people For unto you is born this day in the city of David, a Savior, which is Christ the Lord And this shall be a sign unto you Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes lying in a manger" And suddenly, there is with the angel a multitude of the Heavenly host Praising God and saying: "Glory to God in the highest And on Earth peace and goodwill toward men"
