[What was the first angelic word]
What was the first angelic wordThat the startled shepherds heard?—
‘Fear not!’ Beloved, it comes to you
As a Christmas message most sweet and true,
As true for you as it was for them
In the lonely fields of Bethlehem;
And as sweet to-day as it was that night,
When the glory dazzled their mortal sight.
