For unto you is bornthis day in the city of David aSaviour. which is Christ theLord. And this shall be a signunto you; Ye shall find the

babe wrapped in swaddlingclothes, |ying in a manger‘

And suddenly there was withme angel a multitude ol theheavenly host praising God,and saying, Glory to God inthe highest, and on earthpeace, good will towardmen And it came to pass‘as the angels were goneaway from them into heaven.the shepherds said one toanother. Let us now go evenunto Bethlehem, and see thisthing which is come to pass.which the Lord hath madeknown unto us.

And they came with haste.and found Mary, and Joseph.and the babe lying in amanger. And when they hadseen it. they made knownabroad the saying whichwas ‘old them concerningthis child. And all they thatheard it wondered at thosethings which were told themby the shepherds, But Marytreasured up all these things.pondering them in her heartAnd the shepherds returned.glorifying and praising Godfor all they had heard andseen, as it had been told them.

gnd the angel said unto them, Fear not; for, behold, I bring yougood tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you isborn this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall nd the babe wrapped inswaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
