the herald song that the shepherds heard

THE HERALD SONG THAT

THE SHEPHERDS

HEARD

“Christ the Lord” means anointed, the Messiah of

Israel

“Praise God in Heaven!Peace on earth to

everyone Who pleases

God.” (v. 13, CEV)

“Glory to God in the highest, and on earth

peace good will towards men.”

Sheep, by nature

helpless creatures, are

more frequently

mentioned in the Bible. In

the Scriptures, sheep

appeared 750 times. In the early

history of the Hebrew

nation, the shepherds

were known as herdsmen.

He lets me rest in green meadows; he leads me

beside peaceful streams.

He renews my strength.He guides me along right paths, bringing honor to

his name.

Even when I walk through the dark valley of death,

I will not be afraid, for you are close beside

me.Your rod and your staff

protect and comfort me.

You prepare a feast for me in the presence of

my enemies.You welcome me as a guest, anointing my

head with oil.My cup overflows with blessings.

Listen to

our

prayer
